Good luck with it and welcome aboard

Welcome!
Google and search always have good info; I always worry about the day they die taking out my tank so no personal experience. Perhaps you already saw this but doesn't have anything specific on yours BUT there is a link within post going to another site and I didn't chase it all the way thru:

They are good filter feeders and unless stress are safe in the reef tank. It is said that they ink, which rarely occurs but CAN. Water quality must be maintained at the highest levels possible as they dont respond well to poor water conditions and care must be taken with any water intakes/overflows to ensure that the Sea Cucumber cannot be sucked in. Rows of pink knobby thorns run lengthwise along its green and yellow body. Like Sea Apples, striking yellow and pink tentacles extend during feeding. Unlike most other sea cucumbers this animal normally stays stationary, when it finds a suitable location in the aquarium with the proper flow.
Feed daily with zooplankton or other liquid invertebrate food which stick to their little knobbs and then transferred to their mouths.
