Distinctive appearance with large pointed teats in groups of two or three all over the body surface and numerous large tube feet on the flat underside. They feed on plankton.
Found in shallow waters on sand and rubble areas, widespread in the Indo-Pacific region.
I spotted this juvenile sea apple at a depth of about 25m.
