problem with cucumber.

[]v[edia]

this morining i saw my cucumber is poop something quite long look like intestine then now it like very long n slim is it dying ?

It's the cleaned up sand. They ingest debri laden sand and pass out the clean sand.

i noe how it is like when i pass out the sand coz i saw it b4 .. but tis one look like not sand but long n brown in color something like organ

Cucumbers can expell their guts when stressed. I would keep an eye on it...

[darren]

how old is your sandbed?

[]v[edia]

marine tank is 6mth liao.. recently then add sand in .. so i think is few week only

[darren]

could it be starving? but even if it is, cannot be so soon?

[]v[edia]

not sure leh.. beside sand wat he eat??

[darren]

hmm.. he doesn't eat sand, he eats the "lak sup" in the sand. sometimes they do go up to the rocks and eat lak sup there too.

juz notice that... one tis body like got one patch of white sticky thing wat is it ?? is it injury?

[darren]

its probably a mucus layer that the cucumber is shedding. the white patches could be the sand coated on the mucus.
