I have a brown sea cucumber that I am willing to trade for an interesting coral frag. PM me if you have a frag you are ready to donate.

In this pic, I had just placed him back in the tank. In 24 hours, he was under my shells burrowing.

Do you have sand under all those shells? That is a sand eating cucumbers. They ingest the sand, digest the micro fauna from it, and poop out little sand pellets. They do a good job helping keep your sand bed clean. They do need a good sized tank. We have 3 in our 210g. I think they are cool and hope this guy goes to a good home.

Yes, I have 2 different grades of sand under the shells. He makes himself at home in there. I occasionally see a squirt from him, indicating that he is making his way thru the sand bed.
