Vulnerable Sea Cucumber This was one of the strange looking sea cucumbers I found on the Islands of Lakshadweep, India. Got to know that this species is under pressure due to over harvesting and it has been categorized as Vulnerable as per IUCN red list of threatened species due to the drastic decline in the population of this species throughout its distribution range.
