Type of urchin?

The LFS said this was a long-spined bt seeing other images, it doesn't really look like one...any thoughts? (I know the pic isn't great, sry)

 

looks like a rock boring

 

justin ur silly lol

 

Yep, Hawaiian rock boring urchin.

 

Why am I silly Phillip? I'm trying to figure out exactly what it is because Jen loves it but I'm worried about the reef. If she had it her way she would have a FOWLR, but that's not me! ;D I know you said Amber brought one home and it went rt into sump but I dont have that luxury mi amigo...so either it stays and I hope for the best, or it gets returned to LFS. I'm going to gamble and hang onto it.

 

It is fine reef-safe wise. It will however bulldoze everything and eat coralline. They are also highly nocturnal so you will be lucky if you get to see it much.

 

Thx for the info Jason...it's been in there for almost a month and only has shifted heater a bit but that's about it. Gettin' my first frags from Phil (if he's awake by noon) so we'll see how that goes...hopefully it doesn't 'doze them around too bad.

 

I just like messing with you.......:

 

or Caribbean, they look the same, probably pantropical

 

I wish my urchin would eat coralin....
