Default My Big Cucumber
i have a BIG pink cucumber in my tank. I never should have purchased him, but I was a bit misguided by my LFS. He has been doing a good job keeping my DSB clean, but now he is climbing the sides of the tank and curling up at the surface. I am a bit worried because everything that I read says that if he stresses he can kill my tank. This is causing me concern and I am considering pulling him out.

Is this crawling on the sides of the tank something to be worried about??

How do I insure that this guy is gettting food?

Will my blue legs crawling on the cucumber cause him to stress?

Any help from an experienced cucumber keeper ould be great!!



_________

15 gallon tank w/10 gallon refugium, modified skilter 250, dual actinic/dual daylight, 30 lbs live rock, 20lbs live sand, 9 astrea, 5 blue leg hermits, 2 brittle stars, 1 sand sifting stars, zoanthids, green star polyps, Rose BTA, False clown, Citron Goby, Skunk Cleaner.

Yep! That's him.. I am glad to see that he is not venemous. My water stays at 80 degrees. I wonder if that is too hot.
