Im not sure if this is the forum for urchins, but I was wondering if its okay for hair algae of some sort to be growing on the spines of a pencil urchin. Is there some sort of creature that I can put in the tank that would eat that or is it good for the urchin?
 
I don't think I can answer your question, but I seem to recall most pencil urchins being "hairy" looking. He might be picking it up on purpose for camo too.
 
My pencil has the same issue, my Angels simply pick it off of him. Doesn't seem to bother him at all.
