Pics of the zoas?

 

No they hadnt opened up last night when my wife was taking pics, I will see if they did tonight.

 

What does the cucumber do? Are they bad for the tank if something happens to them...say terminal? Kinda neat looking.

 

This guy is incredible.

They need to be target fed like a feather duster or coco worm.

They do have a toxin that can be harmfull if it gets caught in a pump or power head.

For the most part they are a bottom dweller.

 

that cucumber kind of looks like a sea apple

 

Sea apples and cuc's are from the same class of Holothuroidea.  Cuc's release a toxin called holothurin as a defense mechanism.  When they die, this toxin is relased into the tank so a dead cuc should be removed immediately so as not to foul the tank.  Cuc's are scavengers, feeding on plankton, detritus and organic matter.....  Nice looking cuc, Craig!

 

Any word on my Tahitians?

 

Still on order, but havent had one come in yet at all.
