Interesting fellows these urchins. The xenia grabber what kind of urchin is this one and how big is this fellow.

lol steve!

The urchin grabbed some valonia that had the xenia attached to it.. (same as Mason's). This urchin, although I am not sure the scientific name, was called a "colored urchin" at J&L. It's favourite thing to eat is waffer algea. It's about 2.5" in diameter.

Tripneustes sp. is the type of urchin both me and Adam have.

George, urchins are only about $13. Not too much saving required for one these guys :razz:

Re: Urchins
 

don't go in and ask for a commin urchin as for it by sientific name as what they call a commen urchin changes depending on what they get sent. also it will look exactly like the pics both me and adam have posted.
