Black Sea Cucumber looks odd

[NytroGirl]

We’ve had this sea cucumber since mid last year. He’s acting strangely and has what looks like a bulge or hemorrhoid near his little tentacles.

We recently had a porcupine puffer that ended up having ick so we treated the tank, did a water change, and treated again. He seemed to be improving but a week later, today, we found him dead this morning.

I don’t know if maybe the ick treatment jacked up the cucumber or not but any suggestions here would be great.

He’s a great dude and cleans our gravel wonderfully so we hate to lose him.

Sorry to hear on puffer and most definitely yes, any ich treatment especially one containing copper will have an adverse effect on the cucumber
