Cucumbers?

[Aquaph8]

Tips/info?

I see they come with a warning, how worried should I be with this?

I've never had an issue with my yellow cucumber...I started with 1 and now have 3. I read they tend to split if either stressed or in good conditions. They have a mild toxin but are peaceful, I've had them in my reef and I've have no issues (yet). So I'm not sure how much caution you need. I've read they're omnivores and need medium to strong flow because they're filter-feeders.

Thanks for experience, I believe the ones I saw were called tiger cucumbers but I'm not positive.

I had a pink/green one back in the day and never had any issues. It would hang out at the very top of the rim with it's feeders out to catch food.

I like them with a little salt or pickled!!

Anyway tigertails are in the sand so you should not have an issue. Any of the sand ones should be fine. The problem is the others that climb could get caught in a powerhead or something and they can be toxic...

Ugh...Dave...you totally beat me to it

I had a pink one, looked like a hotdog, haha. He climbed into the rocks and never touched the sand. He would move into different positions on the rock, but never touch the sand. He ended up dying on me.
