Cucumber - beneficial HH, filter feeder :)

 

[ethana123]

won't kill everyhting if it dies ?

 

[chimaera]

I think a cucumber 'nuke' is one of those urban myths that people talk about but nobody has actually experienced or know anyone that it has happened to. It looks pretty small? I have quite a lot of them in my tank, maybe 10+, about 1cm in size.

@NiCd may disagree with that one..

If they get attacked, they will squirt out their internal organs. These are toxic. I takes a lot of stress for this to occur (ie chewed up by a wave pump, etc). If they die in the system, expect the normal series of events (ie increase in ammonia and a mini cycle - and I don't mean a small bike!)

Yeah I tested that myth and lost. I couldnt get it off the rock it was on so decided to starve it to death (stop target feeding it). When it started to get skinny I was loosing hammers on the bommie and couldnt work out why. When it did die it killed 90% of the corals on the bommie as well all of the fish that slept in the bommie. That gamble cost me about $2k and about 4 months for the rest of my corals in the tank to recover.

Either take care of it property or get rid of it (IMO)

I seemed to suffer very localized issues with the corals surrounding it at first, no ammonia or really any other issues?

Agreed, this should extend to ALL OF THE ANIMALS that we keep, not just the toxic species

The above post is in relation to the care of animals
