and really ,where can you buy anything marine that isn't overpriced?

I know that they can wipe the tank out, I guess nobody has ever had one or has any links to experiences with them?
I know most consider it not worth the risk, I understand the risk and will debate that for myself once I have some knowledge on them to work with...

I may have to be the first one on this board to try one out.
I can't imagine that I would have any stress in my tank for it and I would certainly spot feed it to make sure it's healthy and happy...

You ever seen something and it just appealed to you?
I'm enamored of this sea apple...lol

It all makes a lot of sense to me.
Go for it!!!.

I had bought a sea Cucumber (not the same as a sea apple but just as deadly) once and put it in my second smaller tank and it lived great with the fish in that tank for 8 months. Then one day everything was wiped out and after checking all parameters everything checked out perfectly, and right before the deaths all fish were acting great and looking healthy. I also agree just not worth the risk.

agreed, everyone agrees, not worth the risk...
however, I might risk it.

its a tough one, great looking if it works out, and if you get one you know we will all be gunning that everything lives in harmony.
