Well, here you go: meet Peniagone Diaphana:

Peniagone - let's call her (him? it?) Penny for short - is a holothurian from the benthic zone. Scientists snapped this glamour shot via remotely operated deep-sea vehicle on an expedition to the mid-Atlantic ridge as part of the Census of Marine Life.
Check out a slideshow of Penny and her more and less ugly pals at
The Guardian.
- Wombat, who has a weird craving for some nice raw shellfish right now...
