Mine hung out near over flows.

I had a yellow one for a few years but lost him/them during a move. Mine split about a year after I got it. Mine didn't move much. Stayed in a moderate flow area. Nice addition to my tank. Just got a pink one and it seems to be doing well so far.

They can be toxic if they die, not too much of a problem in a large tank but could be in a small tank .

My cucumber i see occasionally, most of the time i dont. Hes about a year old doubled in size in that time frame. Hes almost all black so hard to see against rocks covered in coraline.

Okay thanks, is it true that they like to hide during the day?
