Yet another What in the world is this.

Found this on my new lr from lr.com, at first I thought it was just a funny looking rock but today it's not in the same place as it was yestrerday.

Looks like a pencil urchin

 

[dralarms]

Is that good? or is an eviction in order?

It's an Everlasting GobStoper, you know from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

They are algae eaters, not a problem, but I don't like having urcins in my reef, cause they are bulldozers.

 

[jamal-188]

They eat coraline as well :x

 

[Atari]

Looks a bit like Echinometra mathaei, also known as the Rock-boring Urchin 8O

Like jamal said they enjoy calcareous algae and have been known to find the occasional coral tasty.

(just kidding it's a pencil urchin )

I believe that is a percula clown's fin. Not sure

Yep. Just had to get in the picture. I guess it's off to the lfs with the urchin.

I got him out of the tank. It's in my ls tank for now, that will give me a few days to decide what to do with it. It is after all a little thing (about the size of a dime, maybe).

I have 3 of them in my tank. They may eat coralline, but they also spread it around through their poop. I like the diversity in my tank.

They will allso over turn clams if you have a clam up close to your lights

 

[dralarms]

No clams, and since I only have 1 and he is really small he went back into the tank. Thanks
