Last week we purchased a very large sea apple. The store told us he/she was healthy and thriving. We would like some general info. about these creatures. It's eating all day, but changes shape often. Any information about these guys would be helpful from an experienced person. What do they look like when their happy? upset? or dead? We know their filter feeders and have the appropriate food, just always looking for more information so we can care for this guy to keep him healthy.

"I will come back to a discussion of whether or not your animal is getting enough food below, but I first wanted to make a brief aside while on the subject of anal respiration." In what other hobby can you make a statement like that?

This is a "with extreme caution addtition". Just cause LFS said you could shows you shouldnt. You should know from water readings and other coral health and age of tank. You need the right conditions for it or it could die.Its death will release toxins and the effect could be from little to major coral lost.

I had one in my store that moved up the glass, and positioned itself to get blasted by the return water. He must have done this during the night. When I came in to the store the next morning, he was torn apart. This thing was a complete mess, it looked as if someone filleted it and then used a meat cleaver on it. I had to net the pieces out of the tank and assumed the worst. I was very busy that day and was not able to do a water change. This tank was a 150 gallon, stocked with alot of coral (no fish that I recall). Much to my surprise, nothing happened at all. No coral showed any sign of stress what so ever. Maybe I'm just lucky, I don't know.

I agree, pretty much hit or miss. some clues I have found are the retain a nice healthy round shape. In my experience if they spend too much time elongated or even discolored that is a bad sign.
