Ok, you have to get me the exact name of that cucumber, or is that it "Sandsifting Cucumber". I need one. My Yellow Headed Goby died, but even when he was alive he basically just spread sand all over my corals. So if a cucumber will do the job without disturbing my corals that would be great!

Took me some time to find a cucumber that wasn't toxic, he's not much to look at, but he keeps the sand spotless. Let me dig up my records and see if I can find the latin name for this one.

I asked someone at my lfs and they said all Cucumbers are toxic, but only if it gets caught in a powerhead or something like that. They said if it slowly dies from starvation it won't be toxic to the tank. The lfs said I would probably need 3-4 to keep my 125 clean. How many do you have?

My lfs told me the same thing. I bought one several months back, but returned him today
I have read too many posts on here about them crashing an entire tank (big & small), and usually the poster states that they thought they had the "non-toxic" kind. I couldn't take the risk any longer. Mine was a "sand sifting cucumber", nothing pretty (terd brown & dark green), but noticed over that past two weeks he kept climbing the glass getting near the overflows & ph's. Good luck with yours...

This is some of the fish in my 240. Not all wanted to be in the photo I guess. So far 25 and 9 more to go.
