Pink & Green Cucumber

While not the most visually striking, the Pink and Black Sea Cucumber excels as an efficient cleaner in reef aquariums. It consumes detritus, diatoms, and leftover meaty food particles from the sand, helping maintain a clean environment. One individual is suitable for a 60-gallon tank. Ensure it has ample sand to sift through, as it scavenges food remnants left by fish. Avoid housing with aggressive fish or those that prey on invertebrates. Protect it from overflow or pump intakes to prevent harm, though rare, it can release toxins harmful to fish. Gradual drip acclimation and stable pH, calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels are essential for its health.
