Sea Cucumber?

[hot pursuit]

Will my two emerald crabs hurt a Pink and Black Sea Cucumber?I want to add it this weekend if it is a safe thing to do.

My emeralds have never messed with my cucumber that I know of. I would not worry about it IMO.

i must caution emeralds as each one seems to have a mind of their own. my LFS swears they never mess w/ aything but when i dropped mine in the tank he hit the ground and went right to some zoas and started ripping off the skirts like there was no tomorrow. he wasnt even eating them just ripping them off and letting the debris float away in the current. i had gotten him for a tiny patch of bubble algae, ended up taking him out and the zoas never recovered:sad:

Wow you had one aggressive guy.

We've had our oldest sea cucumber for at least 7 years (closer to 8). We have always kept emerald crabs and have never had any issues with them or anything else in our tank bothering the cucumbers.

Wow you had one aggressive guy.

Very... but like i said each one acts differently so if you do mix the two just keep an eye on the emerald
