Cucumber dumped it's organs

[atrox]

Recently added what lfs had labeled as a sand sifting cucumber wasn't a tiger tail, and having a hard time finding a similar example on internet to compare to. Fast forward-- while doing weekly maintenance I noticed what only could be organs and gonads from the cucumber. The cucumber is still moving and does not appear to be dead 4 days after releasing them. They do regrow organs, so I'm keeping close tabs on it. Should I just let it do it's thing and regrow or move it to the qt tank? I don't want to stress out any more.

I'd leave it alone. They do that to repel potential predators as a stress response. I've rarely heard of it actually happening though.

Leave it alone, but do water changes to get the gunk out. It'll be just fine.
May want to find out if something attacked it... Maybe something scared it? Bit it?

I'll update with some pics when it appears again. Weird weird weird

Yes, be sure to get the organs out, as they're likely toxic to curious fish.
