Urchins do you need two for them to breed?

All I see in my tank is one but now there is a new little baby on in there. Has anyone ever had this to happen before. I am a little confused on this matter.
Thanks in advance.

I have not added anything to my tank that had not already been in my tank at one point or another since the Feb. meeting. So no new rocks it could of been hiding on. Come on any clue?

Any chance that you may have add some water to your tank that contained either sea urchin sperm or eggs and that allowed your's to reproduce?

Only if that can come though the tap. That is what has me stumped.

It was probably a baby that hitchhiked in and slowly grew.

So it could take from Feb. to now to grow big enough that I could see it? It is about the size of a dime now.

You've got me wondering how exactly urchins "do the deed"....

Jim has a few babies that just hatched out in the store. They are in the tank around the far right corner when you come in

I like t when I find new things that I have not paid for in my tank. As long as they are good things.lol
