Pseudocolochirus axiologus

Pseudocolochirus axiologus
Pseudocolochirus axiologus is a sea apple, a colorful and somewhat round sea cucumber. They can be found primarily in Indo-Pacific waters. Sea apples are filter feeders with tentacles, ovate bodies, and tube-like feet. They can release their internal organs or a toxin into the water when stressed. The sea apple feeds primarily on plankton, which it filters from the water with its tentacles. It alternately brings each tentacle to its mouth, scraping off the captured plankton.
