Common name: Sea Cucumbers

Stichopodidae, commonly known as sea cucumbers, are a family of echinoderms that play a vital role in the marine ecosystem. They are detritivores, cleaning up organic matter and recycling nutrients. In the aquarium, they can help maintain a clean substrate. Members of this family, like the popular Thelenota ananas, are known for their unique leathery skin and elongated bodies. They require stable tank conditions and should be kept with caution as they can release toxins when stressed.
