Sea Apples

[smelly shelley]

hi
I saw today a sea apple i like the look of them, but i was unsure how to keep them and what to do with them. How to feed and are they hard to keep. Any help please.

the only thing I know about these is that they are very difficult to keep due to feeding requirements would advise looking up on the net a little about keeping them before going head first into buying one!

they are really hard from what i've heard. ANd if they're not taken care of properly they can kill a system instantly.I dont think they are good ideas for anyone to keep.

The main problem with sea apples is that they can nuke your tank by releasing toxins if they become stressed or injured; not something to get if you don't know what you're doing with it. This is probably a good summary: http/www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?cl...;articleid=2115

Agree with above... not a recommendable animal. Best observed in the sea in my opinion.

I'll toss my agreement in with the above. Kind of like adding a ticking time bomb to your tank... Not the best of ideas

As the others have said a really bad idea

in the hands of an expert only, aka mother nature. Some things are just meant to be left in the sea.

One of the few lfs in my area had a sea apple nuke their system. Needless to say they didn't keep getting them after that. Even the experts have problems with them.

It's not even about problems it's just like Ski said, it's a time bomb as it's going to die eventually and when it does, kaboom.
