Dykning med Stichopodidae Søagurker
Koh Lantas Marineliv | Stichopodidae
Stichopodidae Søagurker har et firkantet tværsnit, er flade på undersiden og ses ofte, når man dykker omkring Koh Lanta.
Mange medlemmer af denne familie er spiselige og høstes til restauranter. Disse søpølser har ofte fremtrædende, tykke, kegleformede fremspring på kroppen og findes på sand eller murbrokker tæt på revkanten.
Munden på en Stichopodidae-havsagurk er omgivet af 20 flade, cirkulære tentakler med stilken fastgjort til midten af den nedre overflade, hvilket definerer medlemmerne af denne familie.
