Tiger Tail cucumber

[BlueStag]

Are any of these fish predators of Tiger Tails?

Copperband
Mystery wrasse
Tangs
Flame angel

I am thinking of getting one to help sift the sand, but I've found my Copperband and Mystery wrasse have a large range of foods that they eat, that I did not know they ate.

Should be fine, but there may be an occasional taste by the tangs or angel.

Tiger tails are pretty large...I'm thinking you are safe.

As pIankton said though - occasional taste but other than that you are good.

You should be okay...Tiger tails are pretty large

The reason that I ask, is my Copperband actually picks at my sand star, and has eaten some of his legs. He also ate my clam and my chalice's. So he has a varied appetite for foods other than mysis or aiptasia, and the tiger tail has me worried. I don't want to buy something that is going to get picked to death.

Blue - that is a fair statement because I believe that when cucumber's die they can cause problems for the water quality or poison I believe. Not sure, but I know its not good.

Clams...now that is interest. Clams are not good around Copperband's. I thought it is a natural food source for them... If not, just think of the long nose those guys have and what they can get into I know for a fact that mine ate every small clam type things on my life rocks.
