Sea apple

[mrzmikey]

I just put a sea apple in my tank, and typical me, did not do any research. As i have been reading these things can really screw up a tank fast if they die. Has anyone have one in there tank, are they ok, or all the things I have read true. I have a 210 reef with alot of corals and would hate my tank to crash.
any advice with be great, thanks
Mike

if they reproduce, there babies are toxic and if a fish eats them he dies.

i would bring him back ASAP! i thought they were cool till i did a google search and read up on them! all i can say is thank you google!

Yep, if you really value your tank, I would bring it back to the store, ASAP. Even if you do not get any money back, just consider all the money you saved by not crashing your tank.

If you do not have any fish, there is no risk at all, IMO

 

[brewski4u1]

risk to all your corals tho! !

I would say the real risk is to fish, and even the hobbyist, but not much to corals as a general rule except if there is a big ammonia spike.

What about a powerhead? If the tank has any powerheads, I would say that there is a risk because the sea apple could get sucked or stuck to the powerhead and create havoc.
