Is this urchin reef safe ??

[Robert Ranciato]

I can't seem to get a ID on this guy can anyone tell me if it's reef safe? Thanks

not super sure, but wait for ID before putting in your tank, lots of urchins munch on coral

Looks like some sort of shortspined urchin?

Echinometra mathei?

 

[Nick Steele]

Maybe a rock boring urchin?

I believe are reef safe but not sure

Google marshall islands sea urchins, think I saw it in an article on them.

I have a black rock boring that keeps the tank real clean. I think it does indulge a bit on encrusting acros.
