I am not sure what a cuke is? But I saw it running around and it was around 9 inches long when stretched. I know they are ok and actually a benifit to the tank if they are small. When they get that big they can run out of food and go after crustations and some soft coral. I would rather have the worms out. I actually found another last night.

Hey, is that a clarkii clown or a sebae? I've been researching them as I like the way they turn dark but then have the yellow/orange tail and nose. Thanks!

It is a sebae. I love it. He is very active and gets on with my other fish well. He is in looove with his BTA. I recommend one totally!

a six line wrass will help keep the worms in check. They are also pretty cool. They have lots of personality.

It was not a fire worm It was sand sifting cucumber. They are detritus eaters/scavengers, and it would have been fine until it starved to death, depending on age and size of your tank. BRISTLE or FIRE worms are red or pinkish white with very definite white spines or bristles protuding latterally parrallel down the sides of the body and if ya touched it would most likely be stung by it. If you touched that and it didnt sting you, it is not a fire worm. Just to clarify, I mean no offense. Perhaps that is a bad pic, but based on your others, I would have to say it was a cucumber. Oh well. Nice tank, GREAT Pagoda Cup, adn others. Keep up the good work.

I didn't even know there were any sandsifting cucumbers. This one did have the white spines going down the side of the whole body. You can see them in the picture quite well. I never touched it as I don't really like pain...but if you really think it is a cucumber do you know anywhere I could visit to learn more about them?
