Lampert's Sea Cucumber is only 4.6cm max and these are way bigger than that.

I think they are a group, but they still look huge!
Is it actually one critter, couldn't it be a group of sea cucumbers?
We felt these were to large for Synaptula lamperti!
I think, Synaptula (Synapta) lamperti - Lampert's sea cucumber.
Very huge sea-cucumber
