Sea Cucumbers are great for keeping the top ½” or so of sediment detritus and algae free and must be kept in aquariums with deep sand beds. Acting like a vacuum cleaner, the cucumbers appear to consume sand and drop it out the back end. What they are actually doing is filtering out small detritus particles and bacteria which it finds quite tasty. Sea Cucumbers are somewhat reclusive and can be seen more frequently after lights out in the aquarium. They reproduce by means of asexual fission where they will break into two cucumbers.
