Holothuria pervicax is a species of sea cucumber in the genus Holothuria. The sea cucumber has been described as widely spread[1] and has been found in much of the pacific.[2][3] The cucumber was first described by Selenka in 1867.[4] The cucumber is capable of expelling a relatively large number of cuvierian tubules if disturbed,[2] and is considered toxic if eaten.[5]
