Sand Dollar Urchin

Thanks for all advice. Really appreciate. I have 20 long set as QT for corals but it is really new and clean. How inverts will survive in that kind of tank? Should I feed them some kind of food for 6 weeks....?

 

Make sure you have thoroughly cleaned the tank and filtration of any medications used previously. If you have used copper test for copper.

For hermits a pinch of food and monitor for an ammonia spike with water changes as needed. For snail you can offer them algae. If your going with the tiger tail cucumber you should be able to pat the invert dry before introduction.

It really depends on the invert.

 

Most sand sifting fish have dreadfull survival rates.I would stick with the inverts. Cheryl listed.

 

[Tank is new. Bought on sale at Petco 4 weeks ago. Sorry i promise this is last question. Cucumber what you saying can i dry him and put in the tank??? Would be the best, no quarantine...Or am I wrong ...QUOTE=Corailline;1541452]Make sure you have thoroughly cleaned the tank and filtration of any medications used previously.

What size tank?

 

I've always wonder if you could put one in a aquarium

 

You can not feed the Cucumber alternative foods. The Tiger Tail will need a sand bed that is established. For that reason you can not put the Cucumber in a typical BB tank.

The risk for transfer of disease would seem insignificant, but only you can judge if that is a risk your fine with.
