Cucumber crocked

[coraltastic]

I had a cucumber that got sucked up in a powerhead yesterday and now today I have a dead yellow tang and a diadema. R all my fish going to die? What do I do?

Does it release some kind of poison or toxin?

I removed fish and put them in frag tank. I will drain all water and set it back up later. They was just in my backup tank while I was redoing my display. Well no more cucumbers for me, or maxi jet powerheads in the same tank anyhow.

Thanks all for quick response.

Yea a good solution to.keep them from getting sucked up is to get some net and put it around the intake of your pump/powerhead/overflow
