I thought it was a type of anemone or maybe a worm. I have about 5 of them around my tank. I used to have a ton, but I kalk blasted most of them. Now they are starting to multiply again.

Does it feed like those in the vids?

 

[TritonsGarden]

Yes that's exactly what it does. It's neat but I hope it doesn't multiply.

Thanks!

I know you guys posted that its a cuke but, the ones I have dont actually move around the tank. They are always in the same holes in my tank. Wouldnt a Cuke, or apple move around the tank?

I'm sure there are cukes and apples out there that don't move around?

He's only been in the tank for 2 weeks. I haven't seen it move yet.

Not sure but it may be a synaptid sea cucumber. It looks like the middle picture in the 4th row here.
