help.....

[rage]

Lol, EK would get flush.

OP, any updates? I was planning to get a sea cucumber too. :(

I had a sea cucumber for 6-9 months but he slowly withered up and died. I think you need a good sand bed with lots of stuffs for him to eat.

sounds like you need a really mature tank for sea cucumbers

[eklikewhoa]

Yeah you do and a prayer.

I like how y'all instantly popped up out of no where to mob against me but when the OP had the problem it was but me and johnny boy trying to help.

Sigh... Y'ALL CAN ALL GO KICK ROCKS!

I was asleep or I'd have posted too! Plus my first post was trying to be helpful too.

That said, I'd still flush ya.

[eklikewhoa]

If I were infected I wouldn't want it any other way.

If I was missing any organs or my anus exploded I would hope someone is a good enough friend to put me out of my misery.

always... Just trying to ninja this thread

[eklikewhoa]

ninja whaaa

[Bedlamer]

i did do research on it ...so i will be noting this unkind and cruel conversation to all my friends looking for a forum to go to to......

Is it possible this person was just a troll? If someone did do any amount of research on a sea cucumber, would they not be aware of the remarkable defense mechanism unique to them, or if reading hobby--centric literature the first thing that jumps out is "If it dies--it will crash your tank with toxins". If the OP had any fish keeper friends to warn off from the uncaring folks here, wouldn't she have phoned them up when her sea cucumber started to eviscerate itself? If it just spontaneously started doing that in the absence of another critter messing with it—it had to be under some kind of stress—probably messed up water quality like Ek pointed out.
I’m also left wondering two other things from this thread.

1. Is there some secret industrial sized commode out in the back of Ben Taub somewhere?
2. Does Ek still have his tonsils/appendix/gall bladder/and all his teeth? I want to be there for you buddy!

Maybe we should chip in and get her one of these? http://store.glennz.com/otherend.html
