    Did think about it, but it looks nothing like a sea apple. This one is tiny and has no color on it. It can still be poisonous if dead, but I think due to its size this wouldn't be a problem. Thanks for the insight, I will continue investigating.

    this is a different color, but yes they are sea cucumbers I love them! They do a lot of good in a tank(IMO) and I've had them to die and never poisoned my tank or spit their guts out.....

    you will notice if they start to die. they disintegrate. I pull them out when they start to do that... were you the person, recently, with the pearlfish?

    That is a great color morph of a Poccilipora! I have never seen that color before. Let me know if you want to trade a few frags for it... Oh wait, you're in Mexico, would have to go through the CITES thing I'm guessing to import..

    Squared, If you can arrange import, I will be very happy to give you a couple for free. Let me know. Heres another pic:

    Or better than that: If you ever come down here, give me a call and I'll personally take you diving to collect some (100% legal at that spot) ;)

    That is pretty. Just wish I could import a frag or two. I wouldn't even know where to begin with that. I don't know anyone with a CITIES permit.
