darrellw Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Found this guy in my tank this morning. Haven't added anything new in over 6 months, so I was quite surprised I hadn't seen it before! Not the best pictures, but I was in a hurry. Any idea exactly what it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltfinsax Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Sure looks like a pencil urchin to me. Might want to look that type up and make sure there reef safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 ya, pencil urchin. I added one a few weeks ago and it went AWOL. Maybe he went to your tank... Can I have it back, please... dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrellw Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 Thanks for the ID. I'll keep him for now, unless I see any problems. My daughter really likes him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckie Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 They like to eat coraline. Mine also left trails on my acrylic tank. But cool to watch Beckie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
