the shape is very similiar but I can't tell about the color. It is brown and white. I let it sit in the LFS bag for about 30 minutes and then added water from my tank to the bag. I added about two cups before I removed them and dropped them in. Where they landed they still sit. No activity and I am worried about them dieing and crashing my tank !

The acclimation was much too fast. Much too fast. Might be a problem.
Watch for slimy spots developing, or holes. Also watch for activity by copepods and amphipods. I believe they will be the first things to tell you if it is dying or not. They will start to crawl over it.
If you are interested in more info, you can write me at ophiuroid@att.net and I will send off a few articles to you, that may (or may not) be of any help....but are about these types of cukes.

ophiura - again thx for your insight. I will watch them closely over the next couple of days. they do seem to be moving slightly but staying kinda hidden. They send out their white tenticles from their mouth, i assume, and move them around as sifting the water. I have a grn brittle star and a dozen crabs and shrimp, if they die I'm sure I'll notice the buffet activity.
thanks
