my dad popped in tonight amd while we were talking he asked me to turn on my lights in my tank because he hadnt seen it for a month or so. to my surprise i saw one of my baby urchins out for a stroll. i hadnt seen them since the day i added them to my tank (hitch hiker with some zoo's). this was about three weeks ago. it appears the urchin has about doubled in size. it makes me happy to know they are doing well. anyone got an id on this particular species?
thanks

looks like a very cool colored one whatever he is...i love that electric green

That's a Rock-Boring Urchin, either Echinometra mathaei or Echinometra lacunter, but I'm leaning towards mathaei.

i did some research on them and I'm leaning towards mathaei as well. thanks again!
