George is getting big

[elfloyd]

Not sure how long I've had George... at least five years.

Ok - what is George? Sea slug?

 

[elfloyd]

George is a yellow sea cucumber.

I had a sea hare briefly and loved having it in the tank. Does George eat algae? Detritus? I passed on the hare because I didn't want him to starve.

 

[elfloyd]

Detritus

Basically he eats sand in one end and it goes out the other. In between he processes the detritus from the sand. The output is clumps of sand kinda shaped like rabbit pellets.

I also see him reach into crevices with mouth parts and pull out tasty morsels.

Do you have any wrasses or crabs that would try to kill him?

wow Larry, that's a nice piece of meat you got in the tank.
don't think anyone would mess with that guy.

I have a couple of small hermits... no wrasses. He used to stay in the rock work and come out at night... now he is out all the time. I had another until a few months ago... he got sucked against a power head. no physical damage... but RIP.

I have a couple of wrasses, hermits, complete cleaner crew, and no one messes with my 2.

And yes sir Rich... You are also full of $hit...

Lol

And yes they are yours. But good luck fishing them out....

Nice! Think I'll pick one of those guys!

I bought a small Harlequin shrimp months ago that's tripled in size. It's amazing how fast well fed inverts grow!

I am offended by that remark. Or is it proud of that remark. Never sure.
