Stichopus herrmanni, or Herrmann's sea cucumber,[3] is a species of holothuroidean echinoderm in the family Stichopodidae.

The body wall is rough and wrinkled, without large swellings but with orange-brown papillae (conical fleshy protuberances).

The mouth is surrounded by eight to sixteen feeding tentacles and the sole bears short tube feet.

The colour is variable, in some locations being greyish-brown, greenish-brown, or sandy-brown, while in others being mustard-yellow, orange-brown or green and brown.

At one time, this species was not harvested because the flesh easily disintegrated, but modern processing methods provide better handling and it has now become a high value product.
