ID cucumber

Hello all, just wondering what variety of cucumber i have. I've had this guy about a year and he is awesome, does a great job of eating/pooping out clean sand. was just sold as sea cucumber, so i'm not sure what variety he is. I tried searching online but the closest thing i found was a yellow sea cucumber, but they are filter feeders, this one is a gravel eater. Thanks in advance!

It's funny, after I posted this I noticed for the first time in the year that I've had it, it can climb straight up the glass! I've never seen it do this.

It is a yellow sea cucumber that is common in the Caribbean and the Florida Keys. It is not a filter feeder, it does eat sand (not sure if it can handle gravel!) and they are quite hearty. Mine survived 36 hours without power during and after hurricane Irma.

When I say "gravel", I guess I meant sandbed lol, yeah he's a little sand pooping machine.
