fighting conchs are potentially the coolest footed (is that a word?) mollusk i have ever seen. they stay in the sand, cleaning as they go. queen conchs get very large, and will roam across rocks and glass.
apparently cucumbers spew their guts out through their mouths when they are stressed or die, which is obviously on the toxic side of things. perhaps someone can confirm. however enough people keep them that i don't actually think it's much of an issue.
