Not the greatest picture but my short spine decided I needed to move my heater

Caught this one levitating yesterday morning. It’s 3” from the top of the tank and I have no idea how it’s holding on to the glass.

I love sea urchins, they are a unique creature to keep in a tank. I am wanting to see pictures of your urchins, experiences you have had with them or overall opinions on urchins!!

Love my urchin and his fire helmet!

I had two urchins in my Biocube to help with a relentless algae outbreak. Sadly the algae ended up being bryopsis so they barely touched it, and got a taste for my coralline algae. Regardless I kept them for several years as they were very entertaining.

With hat,

Later days,

Where are you guys getting the hats?

My sea urchin decided to put a hat on and wanted to share.

Can’t decide whether this is considered an urchin hat, or an urchin butt pad. Guess it could be both. Nothing like a good piggy back ride around the tank. Second pic is my mobile Frag rack. Coral is checking out different lighting conditions around the tank.

My Rock Boring Urchin neatly tucked into the rock in the dark spot near the middle of the image. Lower and to the left, behind the yellow Ricordia, a freshly cleaned white patch that he's probably proud of.
One of the more boring urchins, no pun intended, since they don't get into the hijinks of wearing coral or other decorations, but I kind of prefer that

An extremely edited shot

A friend printed it out and a few others. This apparently was the only one “solid” enough for it to keep it on.

My kids keep wanting me to get a hat for my urchin. I’ll have to show them your picture when I get home tonight. They will get a kick out of it, thanks for sharing.
