Sea Urchin in my tank OUCH...LOL

[callen]

Having a little issue with hair algae again and need to get another sea slug but thought I'd show you our Sea Urchin. He is pretty cool

[Paul]

That's awesome! How active are they in the tank?

[callen]

Super active... he cruises around constantly. Why I have to be super careful when my hands are in the tank. I always make sure someone it home when I do so they keep an eye on him.

[OinKY]

Unique looking little fella.
Reminds me of one of the Pokemon.

[Gerry]

Nice, very nice

[Tim]

Very nice! I've been considering one for my tank, not sure it's big enough though.

[JohnL]

That's pretty cool. How dangerous are they?

[k0y0te]

Thats so cool. I have one too but does not look nothing like the one you got. Mine is brown with less but thicker spines. i wanted one like yours but could not find any in my area.

That's pretty cool. How dangerous are they?

The poison in the spines can be very painfull and cause you to get sick.

[TimP]

Wow, thats a nice one Callen! Would not want to get touched by him though. What is the bluish-white ball on top though?

[callen]

Thanks all... he is a trip to have.

I've been considering one for my tank, not sure it's big enough though.

If you can get a small one and when he grows to big return him to the LFS. That is our plan for this one.

What is the bluish-white ball on top though?

It's his anus.

[Blake]

Very cool Callen

[Alan]

pretty cool

[donsfish]

Interesting critter.....I'd be extra careful as well around that thing. Don't believe I knew they could travel that fast.

It's his anus.

Huh, wasn't expecting that, ha ha.
