I have a black cucumber that goes all over the bottom of my tank all the time. Now for some reason he is hanging at the top of the tank as high as he can go. Any one have any ideas?
Sorry bit of a pet peeve but it might not be What are the exact tank specs and how was the cuke acclimated.Water quality is good every thing is within normal range.

Not nearly enough time for how sensitive these animals can be to changes. If I'm understanding correctly, you filled the bag up 1/3 and let it float for 25 min? Sensitive inverts should be drip acclimated. The cuke may yet settle on it own though.I acclimated with 1/3 tank water 25 min then 1/3 tank water 25 min then another 1/3 for 25 min then put them in the tank.
They can make an excellent part of the crew once the tank has had enough time to mature. Persoanlly I think you may yet have problems, your choice wether you keep them or not.How I got them is my lfs suggested them as part of a clean up crew.
