Sea Cucumber, Tiger Tail

[Dave VG]

Put one of these in my tank two months ago. Thought it died until last night. It was streched out to about 36" across the bottom in the back. Yahoo

Yeah, I added one a few weeks ago. Shows up in random spots every couple of days. Still not exactly sure what it does. Doesn't seem to be churning up the sand bed like I'd hoped.

I bought Caribbean cukes and I think they are tiger tail. They seemed large but no way are 36"! That is amazing!

Does it only come out at night? Is it possible to get a pic?

 

[Dave VG]

It would be real hard to get a pic where it is now but if it comes out more i'll try.

Edit: streched out it was only as round as a pen

 

[Kent E]

Oh, the ones I have a like plump pop-open hot dogs.

I have 2 tiger tail cucumber in my tank about half year ... they normally hide in between liverock and sandbed ... the head at one side and tail at another side of the same LR so they transfer the sand from one side to another side until the LR slanted and going to collapse ... I need to manually transfer the sand back always ... planning to take out from tank later ...
