Wow, some days I love that I went with live rock over fry rock, some days I regret it. I'm hoping that today is the former.
My tank is ~3 month old and surprise surprise I saw this tiny urchin today. It's roughly the size of a quarter including the spines.
I love the idea of having an urchin, and to me it looks similar to ones I see sold in LFS, but any chance it could be harmful to corals? I'm guessing if I keep it it'll eventually become a nice Uni snack for my hitchhiking mantis shrimp I caveat been able to trap.
