Info

Bohadschia vitiensis Occurs In the western central Pacific in coastal lagoons and inner reef flats, where it generally burrows into sandy-muddy bottoms or is found in calm waters of coastal lagoons and inner flats with soft sediments.

In the Africa and Indian Ocean region, this species inhabits backward reefs and seagrass beds over sandy bottoms
This species is common in shallow waters, burrowing in the silty sands of calm waters where there is no terrigenous activity. It is most common in shallow coral reef areas, coastal lagoons, inner reef flats, and inner slopes.

This species is also found along back reef troughs.

The sea cucumber usually buries itself in the sand during the night

Note: Bohadschia vitiensis has Cuvier's tubes and therefore should not be kept in marine aquariums.
