Anilao Sea Cucumbers (Holothuroidea)

This page links to photos of holothurians (sea cucumbers) we have seen on several dive trips to the Anilao area in the Philippines. We did not make make much of an effort to find and photograph holothurians, so these pages represent only a small fraction of the species that are sure to be there. Several of our identifications are tentative. We welcome corrections at uwkwaj@yahoo.com.
