Dedicated Sea Apple tank

I'm considering setting up a small cube, 5-10 gallons to be a dedicated sea apple display.

I can do that by snagging a small piece of rock out of my reef and using water I remove during a routine water change this weekend.

As neat as sea apples are, it seems weird having it be the only thing in there. Are there any creatures unaffected by potential toxin release it could live with?

Before I realized what it could do. It's in my hospital tank for now.

very cool

If I had the room, I'd have a house full of specialty tanks.

Thats my experience though, his skin started to peel off a bit so I moved him into my bigger older tank and now its thriving
