Pink spiny cucumber care?

[xxkenny90xx]

Any special requirements for these guys? I just picked one up the other day and it looks awesome!

As far as feeding goes I have reef roids, lots of seafood that can be blended up, and some supplements like selcon, Zoe, etc. Should i pick something else up for it? What do you all recommend? Thanks

(Sorry, no good pictures yet)

your blended sea foods and the reef roids are a good start. i like using the reef nutrition products as well (https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/reef-nutrition-product-use-chart.613410/post-6165816). just remember to shut off the skimmer for an hour thereabouts (and to turn it back on, lol). i feed my non-sand sifting cukes, featherdusters and sponges about three times a week.

remember that you can also take a turkey baster to your live rock occasionally to stir up detritus into the water column.

Ok great, thanks! I wasnt sure if it would eat "larger" particles like finely blended seafood or not. As far as the reef nutrition goes, would it be similiar to the feather duster or maybe the barnacle category?

I should have pointed out that I'm aware that the RN feeding chart doesn't have a listing for sea cucumbers, but I think the medium-to-larger sized offerings are suitable (just my own opinion). :)

Our Phyto-Feast and Oyster-Feast are totally applicable here. Thanks for the recommendation. In fact, we have customers that are culturing sea cucumbers with our phytoplankton.

Best,

I feed Hikari coralific delite and some seachem zooplankton, they are thriving, they appears to not be bothered much by water parameters
