    Here is my newest addition to my tank. I have been debating getting a cucumber for a while but finally decided to give it a try. Here it is, currently undergoing a slow drip acclimation, just over an hour now.

    I'm going to hitch on, I recently picked up a Tiger Tail Cucumber so I want to see how mine and yours do because it's very new to me also.

    That's a very interesting sea cucumber, ibefishy. Approximately how big will it grow to be?

    Thanks everyone. As far as how big, I dont know. I tried finding info on them about max length but couldnt come up with anything conclusive. But as soon as I put it in the tank it went right to work :).

    I've got a tiger. Actually, I have countless tigers. They keep on splitting. They're everywhere in my tank.

    that's pretty cool.

    Could I get a sea cucumber for a 29g? ...or is it too small of a tank to support such an animal?
