sea apple

[cathy joe]

can anyone tell me about a sea apple. thinking of getting one. does anyone have one in their tank

 

[njfish77]

dont get one.very hard to keep and i think if they die they can crash your tank

 

[starr]

They are very very beautiful! I wanted one my self! However they are poisioness when scared or when they die. Its like putting a beautiful ticking time bomb in your tank! Although they are very pretty arent they? SORRY! It was a bummer to me too!

A "ticking time bomb" is a good comparison. They can be kept, but I suggest only in a species only tank, designed for this animal. They are filter feeders, and often tend to starve in some tanks. But you don't want any fish or critter that might pick at it...this can cause major trouble. The toxin they release is a fish toxin that will kill basically all of your fish should anything happen. They can be kept, but I recommend that it a lot of research is done into setting up a system just for them.
