Sea Apple - Aquarium Advice

seacat · 08-03-2004, 05:51 PM

I'm pretty i picked up a sea apple from some new live rock. I'm a beginner and i've read they can be poisoness. Should i get rid of it and if so, how?

it only posioness if they die or get picked on what fish do you have and how are your water parameters.

If the sea apple survives and does well you will also need to be wary of spawning. If a female they release eggs into the water column where they get destroyed by the equipment. The toxins released will kill all fish in the tank in under a few hours. Males will release sperm and should be easily removed by the skimmer unaffecting the animals unless a small tank.

From first hand experience I would opt for taking to the [acronym:cd6a14ca51="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:cd6a14ca51]

Should a LCF pay us for it or should it be free to them since they are takin it off our hands?

They might not give you any cash but you should at the very least get a store credit. Call around and check with a few different locations.

Cheers
