They are massive sea cucumbers, more or less rectangular in cross-section. The oral face (called trivium) is flat, and covered with numerous aligned podia. The tegument is thick, and covered with thick papillae and other tubercles. The oral tentacles are peltate, helping to collect the sediment to ingest.
