Check what I picked up this week.

[vcreefer26]

I picked this up a Thursday when I played hooky from work and went to a new LFS. It is a Sea Apple and it is about the size of a baseball and is very brightly colored with reds and purples and yellows. In the pics it has its feeding arms extended out and it will randomly pull one in at a time into its mouth and the pull it out. From what I was told it is a filter feeder. Let me know what you think.

if it dies (or gets stressed) it releases poison into the water that kills everything else in the tank much like when a boxfish dies. if you get it out quickly, run carbon and do water changes you may salvage some livestock.

I am way too chicken too, I payed a lot for my stuff, and Im gonna take no chances, but nice apple BTW.

 

[royal gang]

well forget that, im not getting it neither lmao, is the pink cucumber the same? :notsure: :help:

I had a sea apple which lasted about 3 years. When he died I lost over $2000.00 worth of fish and corals, needless to say the 1 year worth of recycling the tank to remove the toxins. Wish you better luck!- Qbnfreek

 

[bellanavis]

Very pretty, but way to dangerous for me.

 

[cyclops]

They are pretty. Too bad everyone is so set against it, but I can see where most people are coming from.

 

[mygatt]

Wow!! It is Gorgeous, I am too scared to get one though, Good luck with it!!

 

[lanceafer]

The fist saltwater take I owed had one of them in it.........it lasted for about a year. Then I gave up when I lost EVERYTHING. I’m just getting back into it now. I don’t want to tell you what to but I would really recommend taking that back.

 

[reeferdave]

my lfs in st charles has like 4 of them for 50 bux.. i would also be very carfull that they can kill all that is in your tank. its almost not worth having

 

[wangotango]

my lfs always has them. it would totally stink if one of them died, and whiped out the 685 gallons worth of coral they have, thats a lot of money, which is why i dont keep them. just make sure nothing falls on it that could cut it open too.

 

[peter1215]

you couldnt pay me to put a sea apple in my tank. I know two people who's entire tank was wiped out because one of these died in the tank !!!! get rid of it man , there are too many other beautiful sea animals out there to take a chance with one of these.
