Banded longspine urchin (Echinothrix calamari)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this Conch has three eyes? I want mine to have three eyes!

ya freaky eh

Freaky AND super cool :surprise:

I'll keep that offer in mind if I ever come down to Edmonton :D.

Is bright coloration like that rare? The ones that I've seen at LFS are more of a darker reddish color.

The reason I'm still kicking myself for going BB, great pix

Nice shot Danny, did you get the Goby and the shrimp already paired up or did they take to each other on their own?
I've been looking for a pair for my tank.

Thanks guys. I bought them at BA's over a year ago as a pair, put them in the tank at the same time and they've been together ever since.

The pistol does a great job of keeping the underside of the rocks clean. He also collects rubble from around the tank to use in his reno's, so the sandbed is free of unsightly rocks. The only down side to having one is that they will make food out of things like chromis and other dumb fish.:lol:

Not sure if its rare or not. I had 3 of them (all the same bright red) which I had got on an order a few months back. Unfortunately I lost the other 2 in our recent move. :sad:
