Got two Sand Sifting Cucumbers...Can't find one ANYWHERE!!

[cam78]

I ordered two of these from this site. They were HUGE!! Fully extended they are about 6 inches and fat! All good! I put on e in my refugium and the other in my display. From the moment I put the one in my display I haven't seen it since. The one in my refuge is ALWAYS out and never really goes far. Should I be concerned? If they die I know they can be deadly. Is there something I should know about these things? What happens if it goes into my overflow? Can something bad happen? Any info on these Ill appreciate.

You're not supposed to see them..LOL....I have one, I can't remember what type....BUT I see it rarely....
One thing you can do is look at night.....they will come out a little bit, but mainly stay in the rocks and sand

So what happens if it dies under the sand? Screwed?

Cam, I have a Tigertail Cucumber, and I never see him either. One thing I have read is that the sand sifting cucumbers dont have near the amount of strong toxins as the filter feeding type cucumbers. I dont think it would be as bad as you would imagine, and like stated above, hopefully your CUC would get to it and take care of the problem. BUT, if it does die, I still wouldnt hesitate to get it out of there.
