hoppies99 February 4, 2011 Author February 4, 2011 I order it from live Aquaria. They said the sea apple was going to be about 3-4", but when I opened the bag it huge. It scare the heck out of me. When I put it in my tank, it puff up like a size of a volleyball. It too big, but it ok cause I like the color.
Coral Hind February 4, 2011 February 4, 2011 I'm guessing you already know the issue of the toxins then, right?
Incredible Corals February 4, 2011 February 4, 2011 That thing is huge and has amazing colors! That will make for some great photos!
hoppies99 February 4, 2011 Author February 4, 2011 I'm guessing you already know the issue of the toxins then, right? Yes I do know about the toxins.
Brian Ward February 4, 2011 February 4, 2011 I always love the way the sea apples look but the toxins scare me.
dbartco February 4, 2011 February 4, 2011 I would also suggest you feed plenty of fine partiulate matter. Best of luck with it, and keep lots of carbon around. Beautiful though. Keep us informed
hoppies99 February 4, 2011 Author February 4, 2011 Looks neat, best of luck dude. Thank you.... But I'm a woman .:-)
davelin315 February 4, 2011 February 4, 2011 He's not a filter freak anymore, either. I'd avoid handling the sea apple. My impression, which could easily be wrong, is that they can release the toxins without having to be ingested or dead. My understanding was that they could release the toxins just like they can release their messenterial fibers (spelling is very questionable here - aka guts!) when disturbed. Not sure if that's how a sea apple works or not, but you may want to find out.
Incredible Corals February 4, 2011 February 4, 2011 Will the toxins nuke the tank to the point were you would need to tear it down and trash everythign inside? Or just fish and some corals? It would be cool to setup a tank with just one of those and a pair of clowns or something. That is an incredible animal you have there!
Coral Hind February 4, 2011 February 4, 2011 No, you would not need to tear it all down and trash it. From what I have read, just change out the water and the skimmer and carbon would help to remove it.

From what I have read, just change out the water and the skimmer and carbon would help to remove it. Well thats good. A tank with that sea apple and a bunch of soft corals would looks great (xenia, leathers, etc). Isn't it amazing that we don't even know what's in the other 90% of the ocean.

Isn't it amazing that we don't even know what's in the other 90% of the ocean. I know, right? I'll set up my second tank just for sea apple and a pair of gobies.
Vadim February 4, 2011 February 4, 2011 do they taste like apples? granny smiths? mmmmmmmmmmmm they are pretty though.
rocko918 February 4, 2011 February 4, 2011 I had a sea apple for well over a year in my 75 gallon. When i feed the tank it would stick out its feelers. It was easy to care for if your system is stable. When i had an Alk spike it died. I did not see any ill effects to the rest of the tank when it died. My tank did not crash.
lowsingle February 4, 2011 February 4, 2011 Sweet sea apple.....definitely one of the coolest inverts out there...... Darren
