Rollermonkey Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 A beautiful example of a pencil urchin. He's gonna munch on your coralline algae though. Link to comment
fretfreak13 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 What a beautiful fella! You mean to say you didn't spend the 20 bucks to buy that guy like I would of had to do at my LFS? Have you added any new LR lately? Any idea where it came from? Link to comment
MeepNand Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Relatively fast, of course. +1 on the pencil urchin. Link to comment

emmerypemmery Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 I added a tuxedo urchin about 3 weeks ago, but no live rock for ages. How big will he get? Link to comment
Bongo Shrimp Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Actually it's not a pencil urchin but a Rock Boring Urchin (Echinometra sp. possibly E. mathaei). http://www.reeflex.net/tiere/732_Echinometra_mathaei.htm Link to comment

Rollermonkey Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Shame he's going to have to remove and/or kill it. It's beautiful. Link to comment
HVani Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Why does he have to remove/kill it ?? I love urchins That's a really nice one as well. I would leave it. I've been looking for a rock boring urchin myself but I haven't found one I like yet. If you really don't want it, take it to the LFS for credit. Link to comment

The reason some don't like rock boring urchins is that they can bore into coral skeleton as well as rock. Link to comment
