BURNT HOT DOG SEA CUCUMBER
(Holothuria edulis)

Stender, K. “Holothuria edulis”
Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, Hawaii

A species’ name often originates from an animal’s appearance. It’s certainly no different with the burnt hot dog sea cucumber, but come on. Joking aside, Holothuria edulis can be eaten (the Latin ‘edulis’, meaning edible), but I’m afraid we can’t guarantee the flavour. You’d probably be safer sticking to traditional hot dogs.
