🔍 Description:
The Australian Sea Apple is one of the most visually stunning invertebrates in the reef hobby, featuring a vivid purple body with yellow and red accents and large, feathery feeding tentacles. A true showpiece, this soft-bodied echinoderm uses its feathery arms to filter plankton from the current — making it a passive filter feeder that requires pristine, nutrient-rich water and consistent feeding.

But beware: When stressed or injured, Sea Apples can release toxins (holothurin) that may kill fish and inverts. They are not for beginners and should only be kept by experienced aquarists with a solid understanding of their needs.
