Lollyfish
Holothuria atra
The adult lives on tropical reef flats, lagoons, and sandy seabeds, often resting partly concealed beneath sediment. It is a deposit feeder, using branching mouth tentacles to gather organic-rich sand and detritus. Its dark body contains defensive chemical compounds that can discourage predators.
