FarmerTy Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Looks like my cucumber spit out his innards. Either that or something got it on in my tank. Anybody? http://youtu.be/3qvUD7oM7NU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planeden Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I can't see the picture (probably my iPad), but in case it's the cucumber you may want to GAC aggressively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10gReef Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 is the cucumber in the video? how's it doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 I have 4-5 cucumbers in the tank so hard to pinpoint if any one of them even did anything. Planedan, its a video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sascha D. Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) I get all of my clues from you, so if you don't have one then I don't get one... My tiger spilled his beans last month and they were black. It looks like a molt to me. Edited January 17, 2014 by Sascha D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+o0zarkawater Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I've got a raging clue. But no idea about whats going on in your tank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woods Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 They look like some king of egg shells that have hatched.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 I do have giant zebra snails in there as well and a clam. It looks like either some type of egg sac or somebody's intestines. My guess is intestines... since it almost looks like there is a large and small intestine. If that is the case, I wonder what's running around with no intestines in my tank.? My clam did close up oddly on one side only in my tank yesterday but only for like an hour. And it's only 5" long so I doubt it has reached sexual maturity yet and that is some kind of egg sac. If i remember right, They are broadcast spawners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+etannert Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I have read about cucumbers self-eviscerating when scared/startled/change of environments. But what would have scared it in your tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 I did add some blue hypnea the other day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woods Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I still think it looks like empty soft egg shells that were attached to the rock and are now dangling by some kind of mucus... What size are the actual round globs on the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 The globs at the end are about 2-3mm in size... similar to medium sized pellets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esacjack Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 mine did that shortly before dying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planeden Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I have 4-5 cucumbers in the tank so hard to pinpoint if any one of them even did anything. Planedan, its a video. what do you want from me? on the ipad it was just a big blank space. oh, and i have no clue. so i guess i should have said, "oh, that looks weird. in case it's a cucumber...". disclaimer: no one was annoyed, offended, or bothered by any comments while responding to this message. so, this is just a way of saying "i'm not as dumb as you may think, but i'm not psychic either".

Wade Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I thought a cucumber dying in the tank was a bad thing. That they would poison the tank when they die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 Tiger tails I'm not so worried about. They do have some toxicity but not nearly as much as the colored planktonic varieties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
