Sea cucumbers?

[danskim]

Are there any particular species that anyone recommends or has had success with? (As in doing a good job with sand)

I'm looking to get one soon. I heard tiger tails are hardy, but perhaps a caribbean species would be easier/cheaper to acquire.

Dan,

there is this black colored cucumber that does really well, i dont know the real name but i have had this one for over 4 years now.

Maybe some other WAMAS members knows the true name

the so called yellow sea cukes are extremely hardy and great sand sifters.

 

they come in goldish yellow and a brown.

 

both covered in small spikes that are not sharp.

 

down here they run around 6-10 bucks depending on size

I don't know a whole lot about cukes but I've heard good things about tiger tails
