An interesting find today (27 June 2024) -- Pachythyone rubra, a more southern sea cucumber that's more common south of Monterey. It's been documented in Bodega Bay previously, but only a couple of times. Note that hints of orange color at either end of the cucumber, and the tubefeet that are scattered across the body rather than in regular rows.
To learn more about Pachythyone rubra, check out the previous post called "Goodbye, Rubra Tuesday" on 5 March 2018.
P.S. If you happen to come across this species in Sonoma County or farther north, I'd love to hear about it.
