Has anyone kept a Sea Apple/Pseudocolochirus-violaceus

Post by Arny »

Hey Guys

I've just found out about sea apples and wanted to know if they're hard to keep. What do they eat etc

Thanks for your time

Very difficult to keep alive. i had the exact same species. Spot-fed it powdered foods 2x/day. Starved to death anyway... :( Don't waste your $$$.

Feed it anything you want--gonna die anyway... Just not appropriate for captive care.
