Florida Pincushion Urchin



They are great cleaners with a flair for the unusual.  They will camouflage themselves with items found in your tank.  Shells, macro algae, the coral frag that dropped behind the rock work, small starfish, unsuspecting hermits.  Pincushions are known to even wear 3D printed hats.  They come in as small hitchhikers on TBS live rock and grow quickly in a healthy aquarium.  They require good water quality and nutrition.



We tend to see them in lovely shades of pink.



Please be careful when working in a tank with urchins.



We suggest 1 urchin per 50+ gallons.



*This product is an add-on for air cargo orders.
