23 26 Specific gravity:. Sea apples are very easy to grow and do not need to be fed separately, as their breathing trees can be used as tentacles for predation to feed on soft bodies in the water, and most of them climb to the top of the tank wall near the surface of the water.

The sea apple, a sea creature of the seabed, is a kind of round and large sea cucumber belonging to the genus Pseudopterocarpus. They have oval bodies and tubular feet, and are filter feeders, and their main food** is plankton, but they do not eat large amounts of food because of their limited digestion.

Sea apples emit toxic gases when threatened or dying, so they are rarely kept in aquariums.

The color of the apple itself is a pinkish gray, and the tube feet can be yellow, pink or orange. Among all the sea cucumbers, the color is very vivid.

In the reef tank, it is necessary to ensure enough space for movement, and a large number of live stones to ensure that it has enough food. Once a good place to live is found, usually a place with strong currents, the sea apples usually stay there. This requires paying attention to the pumps and drains so that they don't get blocked.

It is sensitive to copper-containing drugs, and sudden changes in pH and salinity can cause the tentacles of the mouth to shrink.

Do not mix with fish that bite its tentacles, such as butterflyfish, angelfish and other species that are harmful to invertebrates.

When foraging, it will stretch its mouth tentacles in the stream of water to filter food, and when it catches food, it will put the tentacles whole in its mouth. In the aquarium, frozen, liquid or dried phytoplankton are fed.

Note that if a sea apple is seriously threatened or dies, it will release toxins into the water, which can cause the tank to tipple.
