Sea cucumber on my acans?? Please respond

Cbray305 · May 16, 2020

I got 2 different acan frags currently acclimating..both have a sea cucumber on them..the guy at the lfs says he tries to breed them in that tank and that they are good. Sooo, is it true? Friendly hitchhiker and let them in the tank? Anything to watch for?

Where’s the cucumber?

Cucumbers are great clean up crew members...certain ones are VERY toxic but if he is breeding them in the tank I would put them in.

Thank you. It is the brownish looking creature on the frag. I added them. Been overnight and they still stayed. My wardley wrasse hasnt bugged them. So they should be fine.

It's really hard to see what it is that you are pointing out, but if it's what I think it is on there, it looks more like a big flatworm, or maybe a Stomatella. Are you able to get a better, clearer picture?
