Family Synallactidae
The Family Synallactidae contains sea cucumbers, with one representative in this program. Although unlikely to be met with by most, there is a report from deep water (400m) off the Great Barrier Reef of a small to medium sized holothurian in this family, Mesothuria parva: grey with darker tentacles, spicules include well developed tables ([l]mesothuria_parva.jpgMesothuria parva[/l]).
