Rescued Sea Apple

[ajukes]

So i went into my LFS the other day and they guy i buy all my stuff off offered me a big fat juicey sea apple for nothing it had come in in a shipment and they didnt want to keep it as all there fish /inverts tanks are all connected, and they didnt want to risk it, so they were going to dispose of it, as i have a spare tank with sand and live rock thats quite mature ( used to be a sea horse tank, but the last 8 months use it to grow caulerpa for my main tank) and the only inhabitants are a lot of pods and a rescued algae eating crab i thought ide save its life and take it home, well it seems very happy its really large fully exytending its tenticles and being fed concentrated mixex phto every few days, all ime wondering is there anything else i can do to look after this guy?
of course i WILL NOT be adding anytihng else or putting it in my main display yank.
Any help would be great
Thanks

I had a sea apple for 4 years it was very cool. it died last year sometime and the tank is none the worse for wear. but I also had ~320 gal of water in the system.

Well I have no care advice, but good luck. They are pretty cool looking critters.

As long as the system is fishless, you're fine. The toxin, if actually exuded, only kills fish (first hand experience here ) Here's a good article...
