Hitchhiker

I got a new coral today and found this with it. It looks like it might be an Urchin but I need some help with identification and is it okau to put in the tank. Thanks

Nice score! Yes, it looks like an urchin to me. I got one similar in size several years ago the same way. It's now about 4".

Rock Boring Urchin?

I think www.reefcleaners.com might sell these if I'm not mistaken.

Is it a Pin Cushion Urchin?

It doesn't look at all like the rock boring urchins in the Caribbean.

It is a gold pincushion tuxedo urchin, i had one in my tank for a couple of years.

Nice freebie.

Thanks for the help guys. I added him to tank last night. Just can't find him today but he will show up again.

Mine seem to disappear for a while, then magically reappear.

Nice score!
I have a white one in the lagoon that latches onto and drags all sorts of stuff around with it.

That's awesome. I'd take a hitch hiker like that any day.

Mine hides in plain sight, it has that much stuff collected on its back it literally blends into the tank.

It will show up with rubble or frags on its back
