Description of Stichopus sp. (phylum Echinodermata – class Holothuroidea) collected in Nha Trang bay

6 species of holothurians genus Stichopus were collected in Nha Trang bay in 2015. Among them, Stichopus sp. was collected from the traders who bought sea cucumbers from divers in Nha Trang bay. This paper provides a description in details in morphology and ossicles of the specimens that have some characteristics different from others recorded in Nha Trang bay. These characteristics are close to characteristics of Stichopus pseudohorrens Cherbonnier, 1967. The specimens were reserved at Museum of Oceanography.
