Sea apple

[SouL_Shaker]

Hey guys,

I have couple sea apples inside my aquarium with very healthy condition.

I have a 220g reef setup. Lps,sps and soft corals... Tangs,antiasfish,foxface and chromis in there.

There is no treat inside the aquarium for sea apple to be stressed.

I dose zooplankton day to day.

What would you recommend for me?

I never had any nutrient problem since the tank setup. Because I have royal exclusive ps and it is very strong.

Also I have vortech mp60 and mp40 for flow.

8x80 watt t5 fixture.

Do they like light ? Do you let me know about these things?

They are non-photosynthetic.
They may move to areas of higher flow to feed, specifically over flows. I would make sure you have some sort of cover for the mps.

Add phyto into the mix. And cover your exposed overheads like tahoe said, mine sits right behind my return line

I have cover for vortech since my old anemone got it into the flow pump! Do they like zooplankton ?

My sea apples

Is it eating? Also, two apples is going to be a ton on food.

I suggest reading into micron sizes when it comes to food and filter feeders.

Just because I can't find the micron size, I would be hesitant to use that for them; do the apples show a feeding response?

Yeah they like flow very much . They get direct flow from vortech mp60.

Just to be clear, when you feed the goniopowder, the two apples open up, spread their tentacle and consume the food?

I dose fauna marin coral balance 30 minutes before. It force them to open up and eat immediately.

Yet aother food I can't find the micron size of; in either case, keep your eye on them. If they start to shrink, rapidly blow up, or losing tentacles, then they aren't happy.

I had a sea apple years ago in a 50 breeder, it died overnight and poisoned the tank. All the fish and invertebrates died. The only thing that survived was a rock flower anemone. Please be careful!

I dosed phytoplankton several times today. I have 2 apples. One of them started to eat. I'm waiting for other one to eat. I run zeolit and carbon reactor with monthly change.

Are those sea apple eggs that the sea apple carrying?

Just looks like the butt to me.
