The largest recorded sea cucumber in the Galápagos Islands is the species known as the "black sea cucumber" or Holothuria atra. Specimens of this species can grow up to 1 meter (3.3 feet) in length. These sea cucumbers play a vital role in the marine ecosystem by recycling nutrients and breaking down organic matter on the ocean floor. Their size and ecological importance make them a fascinating subject of study in the unique biodiversity of the Galápagos.
