I have a black sea urchin (sp?) that I need to get rid of. I haven't been able to identify the species, but I'm fairly sure it isn't poisonous (I've stabbed myself on it a time or two). He is approximately a 2.5 inch diameter ball. The reason I am getting rid of him is that he has a tendency to eat some types of coral. The ones that I specifically know he eats are green star polyps and (as I found out from his wanderings last night) pipe organs. I am fairly sure that he does NOT eat zoas, sps, lps, or softies like xenia and leather mushrooms, as I have had these in my tank for quite some time and he does not bother them. He does eat a little bit of coralline (certainly not faster than it can grow in my 60 gal.), but mostly I have seen him eating what little hair algae I've had. He's been easy to take care of and he must be quite hardy if he survived in the "care" of his previous owner.
I need to move him ASAP because my main tank has pipe organs in it and my QT has some green stars and pipes. Right now he is just floating in a tupperware container with some holes knocked in the side. He is free to a good home if you want to pick him up. If you want me to drop him off or meet you somewhere, I wouldn't mind as long as it is reasonable, but please consider a small donation for my time and gas. I'd rather not ship him, but if you really want him and make me an offer I can't refuse, I will.
If you are interested, PM me, but please understand that you are taking him at your own risk. I already know that he is not entirely reef safe, so monitor him closely around ALL coral that you have. See picture below.
