February video of the month - silky cucumber
The silky cucumber (Chiridota laevis) is a smooth, translucent animal with a pinkish or white hue. They are are sometimes confused for worms because of their shape and size. Unlike their larger cousin in the area, the orange-footed sea cucumber, they do not have suction cup equipped tube feet running along their bodies.
