I havent had time to search the board here to see what a spiltting cuke might look like. I also can't get a good enough pic b/c its towards the back of my tank, but I see my atlantic cucumber looking really bad. i would beleive either he's dying (he's got some white film over some parts) or splitting (seems to be slightly indented in middle).
What should I look for?
My water params I thought were perfect - just did a measurement the other night. everything else - rest of cleanup crew, peppermint shrmp, CBS, emerald crab, and two ocellaris are fine.
The only thing that's changed is that one of my lights went out completely and left me with minimal amount of light for a week. Last night I installed my new 110W PC light - that wouldnt do it?
Any ideas?

I don't know much about Cucumbers, but I have heard people say that when Cucumbers die they can release a toxin into the tank. Hopefully someone else on the board may know more, but be aware.
