What species are you looking at?
You need to be careful, some can poison your system.

FWIW, I carry the Hawaiin tiger stripe cucumbers, that are harmless.

My red cucumbers never touch the sand bed. They stick to the glass as high as the water level. Been there like 3 months only to move a little like stretching the body.
