Echinoderms (Starfish, Sea Urchins, Sea Cucumbers)
Eighty-nine species of echinoderms have been recorded at the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, most being widespread Indo-West Pacific species, but there are several species with westward extensions of their range from Indonesia or Christmas Island, and one south-eastward extension from Sri Lanka (Marsh 1994). The Cocos (Keeling) Islands have a fairly rich fauna of holothurians, including most of the species also known as trepang or beche-de-mer.
