Tony O'Callaghan Folks, spotted this last Saturday about 16-18Ms on a limestone wall in Ballyconnell, Co sligo - the area is just after a red tide which has cleared out a lot of the usual life there.
David Kipling It's a sea cucumber of some variety.
João Pedro Silva Looks like the body of Pawsonia saxicola:

Tony O'Callaghan I'm happy with Pawsonia Saxicola as an id, when I have a good look at the photo I can see the fingers in the shadows at the bottom of the photo !
Jeremy Pierce Same dive as yesterday and for me anyway an unusually clear view of the body of a 'Crevice Sea Cucumber'??? Aslia lefevrei, although my book says it's body is brown and leathery!! Or is it a Neopentadactyla mixta out of the gravel and in a crevice??? Cheers JAP :-)
Jeremy Pierce Checked another book and may have answered my own question.........Pawsonia saxicola???
Erling Svensen I would have called this one Ocnus lacteus, but this species only grows to 4 cm
Jeremy Pierce This one was approx 11 -14cm!
Erling Svensen Then I think it might be Pawsonia saxcola.
