Long Spine Urchin Reef Safe????

jonjon, I was wondering if that was the case. Thanks for the info.

 

I thought so too. I just can't remember the name of the smaller variety. It's something similar to "bluespine urchin."

 

I would love to see pictures of your longspine urchin if you have one!

 

you could always give it a haircut when the spines get too long.

I may get laughed at but I got to experience those last night. My snails knocked down a frag last night (I'm still working on happy placement so it wasnt glued down yet). So I reach in to get it, and without thinking to look in the process bumped the urchin with my elbow. I jerked out of instinct and nearly knocked the rock loose I was reaching by. I didnt get stung nor did I actually hit the rock hard enough to knock it loose, but it was funny cause the first thing I thought of was this post. So while I guess my urchin doesnt bulldoze he did try to drive the bulldozer. lol.

 

haha, funny! So do you happen to have a picture of your urchin? I am going to get mine tomorrow or Thursday. I will post pics when i get him!
