so last night i was playing call of duty and look over at my tank and to my surprise i see my "Edible" sea cuc half on, half off my carpet nem. He was only on their for a few mins, and the carpet was not trying to eat him.
So now its like he is paralyzed... He has not moved since last night but also he is not slimy or stinky? Will he make it? Is it worth the risk of leaving it in their? He is kinda stiff when i picked it up. He is about 6" in length. I actually got him about a month or so ago from CF. Pink belly with a black/purple top.
thanks for any input!

certain Holuthurians (cukes) associate with anemones living underneath the anemone's oral disc for protection.

Here's one vote for your cuke surviving.
 
well he was acting funny for a little while after going untill the next morning. He started moving around kinda normal and i noticed a small wound. Over the next day and a half it got worse and worse to the point where it was spreading over his whole back side and he was acting even funnier......
I get rid of him for fear of losing more than just him. He mostly stopped moving and curled up in a ball.......
