what kind of cucumber do you have?

[cuttingras]

I've had a few different kinds over the years and they come out then they hide....they are all over, under rock, over rock, trying to cling to the walls. I had one that would crawl up the glass and attach itself in a corner and hang out there for days. It's fun to watch them poop....sand logs lol

not sure if they are lebanese. i ordered them off reef scavengers. so if they are dont know. pooping sand logs sounds funny.

As stated above they are pretty unpredictable. They will scour every inch of your tank. They are mainly nocturnal feeders though.

Make sure the inlet valves are not in position to suck your cucumbers up or you'll have no more cucumber and a messy water system.. trust me on that one. lol
