I have been trying to find some reading material on Sea Cucumbers but it is a little limited. the LFS as usual say it's ok to have in my tank. I am only a little concerned that my porcupine puffer will go after it but that is the least of my worries right now.

I am just wondering if this will be a good invert to add to my tank to have the bottom of my tank cleaned. the LFS has the sand sifting ones. I need something to clean the DSB but I am very limited with my puffer. My gf says the puffer is staying so..... ;)

I am going to try some nassarius snails tonight. :)

I have a tiger tail cuke in my tank and it keeps the sand bed pretty clean. I would stay away from the very colorful cukes since they can release toxins and kill everything in your tank. You should be safe with either the tiger tail or another of the "turd" cukes.
