Sea vegetables?

OK hopefully sparked your intrest to look, what are people experiences with sea cucumbers been toying with the thought of putting one of these cleaners in the tank. Any cautions on what to stay away from, and ways to ensure their good health. I hear horror stories but also great praise, which is the truth. Thanks for the words

 

Following. supposedly they keep the sand pristine.

 

this is what I am hoping for. tired of hearing eww that looks gross fix it, you'll will understand this quite well in a couple years my friend haha

 

bump for night crowd

 

personally i think they look sick

 

yea but if the big turd keeps my sand clean im ok with it

 

Friend on mine has had one for more than 6 months, he hardly ever sees it. When I go around to see his tank, about once a week, I have never seen it on the substrate. In the past six months I have probably seen it twice and it was up high on the rocks. Be aware of the horror stories as well, if they die the can wipe your tank our, so I have heard.

Why not go for some sand sifters rather?

 

what do you recommend?

 

We like our fighting conchs. Keep the sandbed nice & clean by eating algae off of it, burying themselves, eating algae off the glass & rocks, and also eat leftover food.

We have a tigertail cuke in the fuge where nothing can bother it. It does an ok job, but doesn't necessarily go where we want it to LOL.

 

Tiger tail cucumber worked best for me.
