Are tuxedo urchins pincushion urchin?

[LxHowler]

My LFS had a sale on purple pincushion urchins and said they are the same as my tuxedo urchin so could share a tank? Is this correct or am I being given bad information, wouldn't be the first time, I really like urchins so I would like to have both but is it possible?

I have had both together. No issues. For me, the pin cushions seem to be more hardy than the tuxedo though.

I already have a tuxedo so my tank can support them. Just wanted to check any comparability issues. Thanks for the response

Yes they’re compatible.
