SRC Member shawncel Posted January 13, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted January 13, 2006 So far, I only know of one species of sea cuke that does not climb up the glass. It is the tiger sea cucumber. I have kept one for more than a year and it hides under my lr and only comes out to do its cleaning work at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuEl Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 If your tank is relatively new it's normal for the sea cucumbers to find food on your tank walls as the sand might not have sufficient food for them as yet.
