Sea Cucumbers

[13thmonkey]

i am having deep sand bed issues. so ive been looking in to different methods of keeping the bed stirred. besides sand siffting stars i have seen sea cucumbers spoken of as good bed stirrers. but i have heard that they can have there downsides too. everyone with an opinion please reply. and any ideas for stirring would be appreciated.

IMO, the risks (nuked tank) outweigh the benefits. MOST sea cukes are best reserved for BIG tanks with lots of sand and fish. Think 120g and up. I know I'd never ever put any species, safe or not in my 45g. Too small. If you want sand sifting, try something like a fighting conch
