Paracentrotus lividus reef safe?

[mbackonja]

Hello everyone, I'm new here. I have 22l reef aquarium for about six months.

I'm on vacation at Adriatic Sea and I found little Paracentrotus lividus urchin (about 1cm diameter) and I'm wondering is it safe for reef aquarium? Can I put it from Adriatic Sea to tropical reef aquarium? Will it eat corals or maybe my clownfish can be injured by him?

Thanks!

Actually, the temp range varies wildly in the Adriatic sea. Reef temps are usually kept between 76-80. Some Adriatic temps range in the upper 50's- 60's, some areas higher, especially in the summer. Knowing exactly where it was collected and the average temp of that water will determine if it will do well in a reef tank.
