Family Reefer

I picked one of these sea cucumbers up yesterday and put it in my tank. When introduced to my tank he moved in a very wierd way. Since last night he has only moved to the other side of the tank and hasnt eaten anything. His tenticales that come out of his mouth haven't moved either. He has just sat in the same place all day curled up almost like a ring.
Is this normal when first put in the tank?
Do they only eat at night or something?
Should I be worried?
Does it take some time before they start to work?
My tiger tail went in the tank and started to eat ASAP so Im kinda worried. All the chemical levels/PH/Nitrate/Salt/Temp etc the whole nine yards are perfect......
I dont know please help as I dont want for it to be dangerous to my reef and also I want for the thing to do its job.....;)
Thanks
