According to the research I've done, it's perfectly stable in our aquariums. I don't have one, but I believe that's what Vivid uses for their "flexible" RFG. Of course cheap filaments are always questionable...
Wait, you don't have an aquarium??? Bro! I knew you had a reef pond.

Yep, I've seen them say it's TPU.

I worked on the development of a TPU for 3d printing for one of the large 3d printer OEMs. That gave me some insight into TPUs among other plastics.

Even the majority of the premium TPUs on the market aren't biocompatible or even skin contact certified.

He's eating and always out swimming. Hanging out with all the fish. Haven't seen any signs of aggression since the first day - and that was just defending himself against the Tomini.

Starry and Lawnmower Blennies have even been out more since I added him.

That's pretty cool. I printed a couple RFGs with TPU and have them in my 13.5, I haven't seen any issues yet, but I'll keep an eye out for them.
