Anyone else annoyed by their tiger tail cucumber?

I bought two of these things when the tank first cycled. They both moved under two different rocks and have never moved out from under them.

I can see them both screwing around under there, but they've never ever left.

Argh.

Wow, mine are very slow but seem active for a cucumber. Weird how yours dont move much. Maybe they found a spot where ditrus collects and have no reason to move lol

yeah if they find plenty to eat then why move ??
as long as they are staying a fair size and not puking then guts then I think they are doing what they will do, and stuff does not obey what we want, all of the reef critters do what they think is right to do. if that means eating the clam next to them or staying in the rocks then that's is what they will do.

They must be getting a conveyor belt of food send to them. That would explain it.
