This thing is cracking me up...he did this with Anthelia too, so now it's in three different locations in the tank.

strange.......will it stay still enough to superglue some SPS?

That's great! Reminds me of when my friend's decorator crab would put I think it was clove polyps on himself.

Mine does it all the time too, it is kinda funny to watch them do that.

I guess you will be OK as long as he doesn't start picking up your fish!

What kind of Urchin is that and what does it eat?

Looks like a blue tuxedo urchin.

Looks like a blue tuxedo urchin.

Correct. It primarily eats coralline algae and others, but not too worry, it won't eat too much. I got it in one of the most recent Reefs2go orders, think it was $16 maybe less...they exist in different colors as well.

Pincushion Urchin is more exact I think, and the coloration is blue tuxedo

I've had my blue tuxedo urchin for awhile now, it's pretty neat! Supposedly it eats algae too...
