About Brown Sandfish

Bohadschia vitiensis is a species of sea cucumber in the family Holothuriidae. It is also known as the brown sandfish and brown sea cucumber. It is widespread in shallow waters of the Indo-Pacific. It appears to be able to hybridize with Bohadschia argus.

Bohadschia vitiensis can grow to 50 cm (20 in) in total length. The average weight is 1,200–1,600 g (42–56 oz). It is harvested commercially, which has led to local depletions.
