Wow I never thought of that. Maybe keeping one of them in a tank in the future is viable then. I'd just be scared of being stung . Do you think 90 gallons would be a big enough tank long term?
90 gallons is fine. I've had them in smaller tanks but they tend to get hung-up on the rock work, so the more "wiggle" room their have for their spines the better. The trick is to remember to look for them before you instinctively start sticking your hands in the tank...
Nice then! Might have to get one if I ever setup my 90 for saltwater. Slightly related but do you think I could fit a blue tuxedo urchin in a 13.5 gallon?90 gallons is fine.

Awesome man thank you! Last question, is it true that you dont have to qt urchins because they don't transfer disease?
I mean - anything is capable of transferring a disease (even a net, spoon, etc.) It's just less likely with invertebrates (and especially urchins). Urchins can also be very sensitive.
Very true. I guess it's better safe than sorry so I better qt just in case
