When I left for work this morning I figured he would have let go of it already. Instead he had now acquired 2 snails and a dead acro that someone gave me when it was on it's way out
They do look good in the pic but so so much better in person! If only I could train him not to steal and knock over everything in the tank. I specifically requested an urchin in a CUC package deal from Rit (who
Is awesome) and he warned me.. But I did not listen lol. Thing is I really like this guy even though he is a total jerk.
Edit: Does this count as animal hoarding?? He is collecting snails!
I had a Tuxedo Urchin in the shop (OK well I've had many)... but one in particular, picked up a red mushroom and it was stuck to it at an angle, sort of like Jamie Hyneman's beret. It picked up all kinds of other flotsam here and there too - the customer that bought it called "her", the Bag Lady
Another way that corals can reproduce - urchin picks up a mushroom here, a frag there, and drops them off someplace else at random.
While highly expensive (trust me on this....eventually....), and a pia sometimes, my tank isn't my tank without my buddy..... I added this guy in 2010 Pincushion Urchin (Tripneustes gratilla). These guys/gals (ok, ok....hermaphroditic entities are great!).....lol
