Sea Erchin ---Anyone have experience with these??

[es355lucille]

So I was looking at the TOTM tanks from Reef Central....and this one guy has a large tank and I noticed in the video that he also has a long spiny erchin as well in amongst all his beautiful SPS.

I have an erchin in another small tank that I am going to take down. What are the thoughts of putting him in my large 140 display?? (couple SPS / mushrooms / Rics )

The one I have does not have long spines.......but not the really short ones either....his spines are approx 1" long and I can see blue in between the spines. Maybe he is a long spine....just a juvee.

Thanks in advance.

only the pincushion and tuxedos are safe

make sure your rocks/corals/frags are secure. they're deceptively strong.
and LIKE to run off with things.

I have a tuxedo now , and have had a long spine that got BIG, both where great and never caused any problems . I also had a pencil urchin which was hell on tube feet , he chased down my starfish and ate him as well as a couple of corals .

Also... No good with acrylic tanks. (well, don't get a hatpin urchin, they get too large and carve up acrylic pretty good)
