I thought i was taking a picture of some cool plant like critter at Sund Rock but upon inspection of the photo, it has tube feet. Can anyone help me ID this?

Thanks for the name of this guy. Is there a group of weird looking cucumbers like this one? If so, what is the group called.

You should really check out Janna's REEF Fish/Invert ID class. It'll really make your diving more interesting as you'll know what the critters are and a little more about them.

Go to http://www.pnwscuba.com to find the dates of her classes. On the board here, she's nwscubamom.
