A very attractive cucumber, however it carries the same cautions as others in this group. It is easily harmed by intakes and overflows, and if there are any "picky" tankmates it can become irritated releasing toxins. These cucumbers need regular feeding or they will starve. They are attracted to strong currents to feed in, and need a well established aquarium to thrive. Spot feed occasionally. |

The Yellow Sea Cucumber (Colochirus robustus) belongs to the family named Cucumariidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 3.1 inches in length, the Yellow Sea Cucumber is passive in nature and moderately hardy in stamina. Based on the particular specimen you acquire and its environment, the time when it is most active can fluctuate day or night, and will hang out or do best in the rock structures. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is good and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.4, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include a well established aquarium, a strong water current, a fluctuating water current, extra substrate area, a deep substrate, rockwork structure, and plenty of hiding spaces.
