Scotoplanes, commonly known as the sea pig, is a genus of deep-sea holothurian (a sea cucumber) echinoderm of the family Elpidius.

A species of sea cucumber (Scotoplanes sp.), also called a Sea Pig, crawling along the seafloor (2324m).

Sea pigs (Scotoplanes) are types of Sea Cucumbers.They live in the dark abyss of most oceans (between 1000 and 6000 metres deep). Many of the Mystery Creatures featured on this blog are at threat of extinction but the sea pig is not among them
