I just learned from another forum that those "feelers" or "tenticles" on my Sea Urchin are really "Eyes"...how neat is that!!!! That would mean that my urchin has more eyes then a spider...Hahahaha

wooo cool
does it flow to the top and get food??

It came in with my live rock and was the size of an eraser tip. When it got to big and started to knock things over I put it in my Misc. Tank.
Yes he travels all over that tank. The seaweed that I fed him is called "Wakame" and can be found in the Asian Section of most Supermarkets.

Awsome pics, what kind of urchin?

 

[thincat]

Etunes, I really don't know. I just call them white, black, etc. I'm sure with a little research I could find out. Until I saw this guy's feeding reaction I was not to interested in them. This shot sure changed my mind.

What's really cool is I took those pictures, not with my Nikon D-100 but with an older camera a Sony Mavica.
