I'll start with the easy one. Even though you didn't indicate what type eel you have, most are easy to care for. A good diet of a varity meaty foods, shrimp, clams, fish (not gold fish), squid, etc. I usually buy these at the grocery store and prepair (clean, chop and freeze, not cook) them myself.
Sea slug an the other hand are all specialized feeders. Without knowing what type you have it is impossible to to tell you what it eats. Most if not all are extreamly toxic when disturbed or if they die un-noticed in the tank. Too often I have herd of these animals being responsible for the complete destruction of a tank. They can be a cool addition and they are beautiful to look at, just be aware of the possible down side.

The Eel, is the SnowFlake Eel, its doing alright, I got it in my neighbors tank, it stays in the rock all day long and comes out sometimes, we feed it live brine shirmp.
Now the Sea Slug, I don't know what type it is, If anyone can link me to pictures I will find it and post it....
Also Its brown with patters and big, looks nothing like the purple slug, it looks like a real slug but huge and underwater.
Does the Cucumber do anything bad to the tank.
I hand feed my Puffer(blow fish) he is at least nice to me..

It looks like this but Greener,
I just learned that they call it the SEA HARE and that it is from the Aplysia brasiliana family.
Anyone know anything of these.

All Sea Hares eat algae, although most prefer just a few species or red and green algae.
They spread all over the US. Mainly In rhode Island, and Texas, to Florida, somehow I read that they come or are also In Brazil.
