Free long spine black sea urchin

[/SIZE]


Had him for 2 yrs. Pick up anytime M-F after 6pm PM me for address. He is medium size and has 9 inch spikes and I will only give him to someone that has an established tank.

The pic below is the kind I'm giving away

Those urchins are really cool with some Bangai Cardinals. They will hang out between the urchins spines and become "camoflauged".

Black long spike urchins feed on all types of algae in the aquarium and are good algae eaters. You can also feed him frozen meaty foods too. I'm only getting rid of him because he has out grown my tank.

breeding bangais will use these for their fry and will spit them out near the urchin and will feed their young!

Glad he found a good home. The round orange thing is where his waste (poop) come out of you will see him spit out these little things that looks like little sand pebbles.
