I have had my cucumber for just over 3 years now and he was growing nicely but lately he seems to have shrunk which tells me he may be starving. What can I supplement feed him to keep my little guy alive?

Doesn't look too bad from the photo.
From what I understand about them you can't really target feed. They can't control what they eat hence the dirty sand in / clean pellet sand out.

My black one seemed to be suffering into I got him into the dirty softie reef. Been ther for 18 months now.
 
Lend him out to a fellow reefer who needs some tank cleaning then once hes there get him back and your tank will be again for him.
 
This photo was a while ago. I should have added that I posted a pic in case someone needed an ID on him for suggestions. I'm not sure what species he is. I will try to get a new pic of him when he comes out and maybe you will be able to see the size change.

The only problem with lending him out is that I'm from a small town and only know of a few people with tanks. One keeps killing everything off and the other's tank is only a few months old.
