I recently purchased an urchin at a LFS, they had this guy listed as a rose pink urchin. The tank had poor lighting due to doing some repair work, so assumed it was lighter color pink and would color up some when I got him settled in. He looks like a tripneustes ventricosus-“West Indian sea egg” but I’m not to sure. Seems peaceful enough, but I would like to know for certain.

Any help would be appreciated!
