Fascinating, whatever it is. Have not seen that before.

The photo is pretty poor, and only one to go on. Kim, can you (or the field researchers) be 100% certain that it is a holothuroid?

Best regards,

p.s. was in Maluku province, Indonesia, last week and happy to see for my own eyes that there are still some sea cucumbers left there!

Very interesting. Wonder what the ossicles look like. Any chance of it being young of atra or leucospilota?

Now I see the other pictures - only one (the close-up) downloaded at first.

Fingers and dead rubble of Acropora branches give an approx. scale - pretty small !
