    Hii people,

    Recently, I have bought a black sea cucumber at Hong Leong. I should reckon marine hobbist to get one for yourself. The black little creature is damn fun. It will swollow the substrate from the bottom of the tank and then shit out the substrate from its buttock. In this way, it is actually cleaning the substrate for you. Anyone keep black sea cucumber, please share your intersting comments or any good website on black sea cucumber please recommend. []

    Mine climbs all over the place! Up the glass, near the surface of the water etc. A couple of times it got stuck at the intake of my circulation pump!

    ----------------
    Detritus are particles (i called them dust)that settles on the substrates or rocks.

    IMO... Sea cucumbers are interesting and even useful animals, but when they are unduly stressed due to water parameters or bullied??? they can poison your aquarium by squirting out some stuff.. so.. dun think that it is worth it.. useful creatures/animals that does the same include the yellow gobies and other gobies.

    hi freddy, i figured that if u can maintain your water quality.. it should not be a prob... and hopefully no fishes to disturb it.[]
