Care of a sea cucumber

[shookbrad]

I just bought a pink sea cucumber. It is really interesting. It has five tree like structures that are neon yellow that it can extend from what I presume is the head.

How do I take care of this thing? Do I need to feed it anything special? Any help would be grateful.
Thanks in advance.

PS I will post pics when I am able to find my camera.

Try cyclopeeze

Target feed him this or the entire tank?

they are detrivores, not sure why cyclopeeze is suggested...the animal may eat it...but cyclopeeze certainly is outside of their nature diet?

you need to make sure you have a big enough sand bed for a single animal.

Not all cukes are detritivores. Some are plankton feeders. The Sea Apple would be a good example of a filter feeding cuke.
