With the light hand of marine biologists who studied the underwater life of the Caribbean, this deep-sea sea cucumber has received the name "headless chicken." Pink sea cucumber (lat. Enypniastes eximia), living at a depth of 500 meters to 5 kilometers, is really not too similar to other holothurians. The most beautiful and unusual of them all, the pink cucumber is found in all the oceans of the world, always staying close to the bottom or coral reefs.
With its transparent pinkish body, it looks more like a jellyfish than its elongated, rough and unattractive relatives of holothurians. Elegantly flapping their transparent mantle as they move, the pink sea cucumbers, which also have the ability to bioluminesce, make an unforgettable impression. Their movements are smooth and graceful, like dance steps.
Thanks to the many transparent membranes located along the edges of the body, pink cucumbers are able to swim in the water column up to one kilometer, never rising to the surface of the water. The ability to swim for them is a guarantee of survival and the ability to move to more food-rich places.
