Description
What it lacks in beauty it makes up for in cleaning power. The Pink & Black Sea Cucumber is a great “housekeeper” for the reef aquarium. It eats detritus, diatoms, and scraps of meaty foods from the sand that passes through its body. One Pink & Black Sea Cucumber is sufficient for a 60 gallon aquarium.
Feeding: Provide the Pink & Black Sea Cucumber with plenty of sand bed to sift through. It will scavenge scraps of meaty foods left over by fish.
Tip: Do not keep with aggressive fishes that are not safe with invertebrates. Also make sure to protect cucumber from being sucked into an overflow box or pump intake. The Pink & Black Sea Cucumber does have the ability to release toxins into the aquarium that could poison fish, although it is extremely unlikely.
Acclimation: Maintaining proper pH, Ca, Alk, & Mg levels is important for cucumbers. Take the time to do a drip acclimation with any cucumber as they do not tolerate rapid changes in water chemistry very well.
