We saw lots of sea cucumbers that day! Not all can be eaten :) This sandfish sea cucumber (Holothuria scabra) is the one often served in Chinese restaurants. They must be probably treated to remove their toxins before they can be consumed.

This ocellated sea cucumber (Stichopus ocellatus) has very striking colours and has lots of "eyespots" on its body, which are basically dark papillae surrounded by a white ring.
