    is there anything I should know about their upkeep before I purchase one? Furthermore, what about the cat terd looking sea cukes? And speaking of sea cukes are there any other varieties that I could purchase that would do the same type of things as the cat terds?

    This morning I found the sea cucumber in my refugium sitting on top of a bunch of white stringy things. There is some trailing over the algae plants. I think it is the sea cucumber guts. :( Is that what it is? What causes this, just being sick? Can an injury, like from a hermit crab for...
