Genus
Common name: Worm Sea Cucumber
Scientific name: Euapta
Euapta is a genus of sea cucumbers known for their elongated, worm-like appearance. They are nocturnal detritivores, often burrowing in the substrate or hiding in crevices during the day. In the reef aquarium, they can help maintain a clean sand bed by consuming organic waste. They are generally peaceful and can coexist with most tank inhabitants. However, care should be taken to ensure they are not harmed by aggressive fish or invertebrates.
