The Sand-Sifting Cucumber is a peaceful and functional marine invertebrate known for its cylindrical body and gentle substrate-sifting behavior. It constantly moves across the sand bed, consuming detritus and organic matter, helping to maintain a clean and healthy aquarium environment. Its calm nature and unique appearance make it a fascinating addition to reef tanks.

Sand-Sifting Cucumbers are detritivores that feed on organic matter found in the substrate. They are reef-safe and compatible with most invertebrates and fish. Providing ample sand depth allows them to exhibit natural sifting behavior.
