I just bought one and of course my bully clowns and blenny go great it with their mouth.
The thing went to the edge of a rock and is shrinking, down to about a 1/4 of the original size. Should I be concerned?
 
Not necessarily. Tiger cucumbers will shrink down tiny out of the sand and cover. Once it finds cover, it should then puff back up and stretch out. The fish are seeing if it is food or a danger. Should back off quickly.
 
Thanks , It’s reassuring to know it’s not on its way out.
Noticed it expanded a bit after lights out
 
They are cool I had mine for over 5 years. It even spilt into 2. They will find a rock and hide under it most of the day and travel the tank at night
