Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

This nocturnal species inhabits forereef slopes to at least 30 meters in depth. Disturbance causes this animal to eject large Cuvierian tubules in large amounts (Ref. 85218). Depth estimate based on Family.

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Members of the class Holothuroidea are gonochoric and have only one gonad. Spawning and fertilization are both external and some exhibit brooding. Life cycle: Embryos develop into planktotrophic larvae (auricularia) then into doliolaria (barrel-shaped stage) which later metamorphose into juvenile sea cucumbers.
