Cucumbers?

So whats the 411 on these guys? I was looking on Premium Aquatics and saw a "Sand Cucumber" that was bescribed as "reef safe" and good at "cleaning detritus". Does nyone keep any cucumbers in thier reefs? My sand bed is looking a little shady and could use a cleaning. Heres a link to the Premium Aquatics site I was looking at

Wookaka, (wait I just broke up typing that)

While I don't keep any in my tank, I don't see any problems. These are the most innocuous of the ber's. They will do a good job of eating detritus.

ditto. We have a few 'turds' a.k.a. Atlantic Cucumbers. They are very reef safe, live a long time (ours are over a year old), and seem to be clean sand and rocks very well. You might Email www.premiumaquatics.com and ask them if they have any. HTH
