Would you recommend a Nudibranch or a Cuke?

I have a 55g going for a reef set-up. I have gone through the cycle and done a 15% water change. My tank is roughly 2 months old. My biggest problem with it is I listened to the person at the fish shop and have damsels. One of these is actually passive while 1 is semi aggressive and one is very aggressive even to my hermits. I also have 3 stars, 1 serpent and 2 brittle. I like the look of both cukes and nudis but do not want to just jump into a purchase. I will have mainly soft corals. I don't know what other information to give, but the tank is moving along really well and has about 70 lbs of Live rock and 25 lbs of live sand.

I don't know to much about cukes, but I know about nudi's. and I'm tellin ya, you don't want one. They are very light, and they literally "fly" to get from one point to another. Problem enters wih powerheads or pumps or filters. It is very difficult to keep them, from getting sucked into a PH.

I wouldnt get a cucumber untill your sand bed is really well established (6 months to a year) the longer the better. as they are going to have quite the impact on the sand bed. with little to no food (young sand bed) there is a chance it could starve before your tank is well enough established to maintain such a critter long term.
