Cucumber

[angel not fish]

I am thinking to get a cucumber, but I am afraid it can poison the tank.

Anyone has a experience to share ?

I had tiger tail cucumbers for years in my reef, and never had any problems. I don't advise you eat it, though.

Which kind are you thinking of getting.? I have 1, the kind that crawl around, and it does fine, never had any issues.. Ive seen a few people with the pink ones and they all said that theyve never had an issue either..

I had one for months. It never exploded. I gave it to Travis because I got a lobster and I was concerend that the lobster would make the cuc spill it's guts out.

 

Tom has/had one too, I think.

I've got two and have not had problems. Some varieties are great sand-sifters. It pays to read up on them, though, just like any livestock.

I have a regular brown one, which is a sand sifter/eat-and-pooper and a pink and yellow one that feeds a lot like a feather duster. Never had a problem with either.
