From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sea apple is a common name for large and somewhat round sea cucumbers of the genus Pseudocolochirus.[1] Sea apples are filter-feeders with ovate bodies and tube-like feet. They should be fed every day with phytoplankton. These organisms do not eat large meals, considering it is difficult for them to digest it. They release toxic gases when stressed and upon death, which is the reason they are not commonly seen in aquariums.[2] The Australian species has red feet with a mainly purple body with a little red and white.
