Many love the Sea Apple's bizarre and beautiful appearance. These animals look more like something from outer space then earth. However, as beautiful as they are they can poss a major threat to your tank. Although they are passive their defense can wipe out all the fish in your tank. If harmed or irritated they can release toxins killing everyone, also their eggs are can kill fish too if eaten. |

The Philippine Sea Apple (Pseudocolochirus violaceus) is sometimes called a Sea Apple or a Violet Sea Apple. It belongs to the family named Cucumariidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 8.0 inches in length, the Philippine Sea Apple is passive in nature and moderately hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out or do best in the substrate. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.4, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include a well established aquarium, high water quality, a strong water current, a fluctuating water current, and a deep substrate.
