HAGI, Yamaguchi -- A rare, white sea cucumber has been donated to a local museum after fishermen found it off the Sea of Japan at the end of February.
Fishermen found the 20-centimeter-long white sea cucumber on a rocky area off Hagi. Local fishermen generally admire white sea cucumbers because they believe they bring about good luck. The museum put the white one into a small water tank for visitors to watch.
Edible sea cucumbers live in the sea near Japan, South Korea and China. They are normally black, nut-brown or deep brown. (Mainichi)
