Tiger Tail Sea Cucumber (Holothuria thomasi)
The Tiger Tail Sea Cucumber is a hardy and efficient sand-sifter, perfect for keeping your reef aquarium’s substrate clean and healthy. This nocturnal invertebrate moves slowly across the sand bed, consuming detritus, leftover food, and organic debris, and leaving behind well-aerated, cleaner sand. Its long, banded body adds unique character to your tank while quietly working as part of your cleanup crew.

  • Reef Safe: Yes

  • Diet: Detritus, leftover food, organic matter in substrate

      🔍 Description:
      Tiger Tail Cucumbers are reef-safe sea cucumbers that ingest sand, extract detritus and organic material, and excrete clean substrate behind them. Despite their size, they are peaceful and effective — a biological vacuum for the sandbed. Ideal for large tanks with ample sand and low predator pressure.
