Halloween Urchin

[Lonnie]

I recently bought 2 Halloween Urchins. Does anyone have experience with them?

FYI, they are similar to a tuxedo but with green/maroon stripes & orange/white spines.

They look cool & seem to like the glass better than the rock, which surprised me. Any advice on their upkeep?

LOVES Caulerpa! Caulerpa brachypus, Small Leave Caulerpa Caulerpa prolifera, Long Leave Caulerpa. Mostly Caulerpa prolifera. It totaled my Long Leave Caulerpa patch in one of my clients aquariums. It is listed in "A PocketExpert Guide Marine Invertebrates, by Ronald L. Shimek, Ph.D." pg. 400 it says it is not reef safe but I have not had any issues with it and the soft corals, polyps, fan worm or the anemones.

Thanks for the info.

I'll give it some & see what it does.
