heres the fun of naudibranches and cucumbers yes they are poisonous but not to the touch if stressed or dies thes critters omit a mucus that is toxic to other tankmates.I cannot understand for thr life of my why anyone would keep and animal that if it dies in the tank will kill everything that lives with it.just my curiosity:notsure:

the cucumber would be fine in ur tank just watch out that it doesn't die because if they do ur gonna lose the rest of ur fish most likely. the nudibranch don't even try to get one of these they will die. they are hardy by no means.

IMO the site that has the nudibranch is wrong with their thoughts regarding its care. The site is not known for its accuracy in difficult species. Although I have no experience with nudibranchs I have come to learn that all have a very...very specialized diet. Even if its algae its usually certain types. I would not attempt any nudibranch unless you know what it eats and you have plenty of it, or more available.
