FS: Hawaiian Rock Boring Urchin (2.5")
 

Hey, Hey, HEY!

I've decided that it's time to let my favorite urchin go. It's gotten too big for my tank and needs more room to roam. I raised this guy from a mystery larva that I found in the bottom of a bucket of rocks a few years ago and he's grown like mad to reach ~2.5".

It's a Hawaiian Rock Boring Urchin (Echinometra mathaei) and is a powerhouse grazer. This guy goes to town at night and bombs around the tank. It's stupid fast for an urchin! Tons of fun to watch and actually has a fair amount of "personality" (if an urchin could ever have personality). Despite the name, they don't actually destroy rocks but if they can't find a good nook to hide in, they'll make their own little hole somewhere that becomes their home they go back to every morning. More fun than a tuxedo urchin (won't carry frags away) and won't get huge like the long-spine/diadema urchins.

$15 or trade for frags. Come get 'em!

Sorry for the crappy picture :sad:

If you are willing to ship, I will take him.

Does it like to eat coraline on rocks?

It will eat coraline off rock. For me, it has only taken out my unwanted coraline while leaving the stuff I wanted. Has done a good job all-around.
