Stichopus herrmanni, commonly known as Herrmanns sea cucumber, is a fascinating species of holothuroidean echinoderm found in the tropical, western Indo-Pacific Ocean. The body wall is rough and wrinkled, lacking large swellings but adorned with orange-brown papillae (conical fleshy protuberances). The color of Stichopus herrmanni varies, ranging from greyish-brown to mustard-yellow, orange-brown, or combinations of green and brown1.
