OK, I know, I know. Do your research before you buy.
But, it was a good deal and I need one!
But, did I get the right one?
I wanted a substrate sifting sea cucumber to sift the fine sugar-sized aragonite I have in my 60G cube and in my 6" deep sand bed in refugium.
However, I ordered from an outfit in Florida and now I'm not sure if I ordered a sand-sifting or water-column filtering cucumber. Meaning is this cuk gunna plant itself on my live rock and just filter the water column for food or is it going to sift the sand?!?
OK, tell me how stupid I was...
Can you tell by photo? Here it is. I've already emailed them for the common or scientific name but not sure if they'll know.

Here is what the text on the ebay auction reads:
THIS IS A REEF SAFE INVERT THAT IS NOTED BY AUTHORS SUCH AS BOB FENNER & ANTHONY CALFO IN THEIR BOOK Reef Invertebrates, An Essential Guide to Selection, Careand Compatibility TO EAT DETRITUS & HELP MAINTAIN A DEEP SAND BED.
Thanks.
