Holothuria hilla – Non-toxic Detritivorous Sea Cucumber
Holothuria hilla, also known as the tiger tail sand shifter cucumber, is a remarkable detritivorous sea cucumber known for its efficiency in maintaining the sand of a reef aquarium. Native to the Indo-Pacific region and the Red Sea, this nocturnal specimen is harmless to all tank inhabitants and does not release any toxins when stressed or deceased.
An Exceptional Sand Cleaner
The body of the Holothuria hilla is cylindrical, measuring between 25 and 40 cm. Its skin is a light hazelnut to brown color, adorned with small white spots. Active at night, it spends its days buried in the sand or hidden among live rocks. As night falls, it emerges to ingest the substrate and filter organic waste, ensuring a natural and continuous cleaning of the aquarium floor.
Behavior and Maintenance
This super detritivore is particularly appreciated for its ability to recycle sediment. Unlike other sea cucumber species, the Holothuria hilla is completely non-toxic, making it compatible with most fish, corals, and invertebrates. However, it is important to provide it with a suitable sandy substrate and several hiding places to allow it to exhibit natural behavior.
Maintenance Conditions
- Minimum recommended volume: 300 liters
- Temperature: 24°C to 27°C
- pH: 8.0 to 8.4
- Substrate: fine to medium sand, rich in microfauna
- Behavior: detritivore, nocturnal, peaceful
Why Choose Holothuria hilla?
- Extremely efficient sand cleaner
- Non-toxic to tank inhabitants
- Ideal for maintaining a clean substrate and limiting organic waste
- Harmless to fish, corals, and invertebrates
- Fascinating natural behavior to observe at night
The Holothuria hilla is a top choice for aquarists seeking a natural, sustainable, and safe solution for maintaining the substrate of their reef aquarium. Its gentle nature, robustness, and efficiency make it both a useful and fascinating inhabitant.

Quelle bête
c'est mon premier concombre et je ne m'attendais pas à une bête aussi imposante. Pour le moment reste sur sa pierre. Vraiment trés belle.

invisible pour l'instant
Animal de belle taille. A eu des difficultés à s'acclimater et depuis, totalement invisible. Sans doute faut il attendre encore un peu pour le voir au travail.
