Green Striped Sea Cucumber

Green Striped Sea Cucumber

(Holothuria sp)

Native Origin:
This specimen was most likely collected from the Indo-Pacific waters.

Purchase Info:
This one was purchased from "Preuss Animal House" on February 9,  2003.

Special Requirements:
As they move through the substrate, they ingest it and digest any algae, detritus and bacteria attached, which provides nutrition.

Comments:
It requires peaceful tankmates.  If it is attacked or injured, it could expel it's internal organs, which are toxic to fish.  After it retreats, it can regenerate the organs.
