No, a tigertail is noramlly an orange bown color, is smaller then a sandsifting cucumber and does not sift the sand.

Sandsifting cucumbers come in yellow, black or gray, are bigger then tigher tails, and they do sift the sand.

Tiger tails are less destructive than most other cukes when they die, and they pick detritus from the sand and around the base of rocks.
