Holothuria (Semperothuria) cinerascens is a species of sea cucumber in the family Holothuriidae. The sea cucumber is widely distributed in the Pacific and Indian oceans, being found from the Red Sea to Madagascar and from Japan to Australia. It was first described by Brandt in 1835. This article will generalize the idea of the Ashy Sea Cucumber's distribution in the Indo-Pacific Ocean or in the Pacific Island Hawaiian waters.

Coming from its name, this species appears as a black tube in the ocean with grey or red (differentiates) specs that can look like ashes. They all vary in sizes. The average size of an Ashy Sea Cucumber is 6 inches. Their diet contains planktons, algae and organic detritus. They get a lot of nutrients from minerals such as vitamin A, calcium, magnesium, iron, and much more. As a marine animal, they are important as a human food source. This species can be found in deep waters or shallow waters, on reefs, near corals, in tide pools, in bays and lagoons.
