Genus

Common name: Sea Cucumber

Scientific name: Bohadschia

Bohadschia is a genus of sea cucumbers found in tropical Indo-Pacific waters. These detritivores play a crucial role in nutrient cycling, processing sand and organic matter. They are generally large, with leathery skin and an elongated body. In the aquarium, they require a deep sand bed for burrowing and ample organic matter for feeding. Their peaceful nature makes them suitable for community tanks, but they should be kept with caution as they can release toxins when stressed.
