It's been about 2 weeks. I picked up this tuxedo urchin at LFS. The whole time he has been in my tank he carrys around a small snail shell. He never drops it. And I attempted to take it from him. He immediately extended all his feelers towards my finger as if he was trying to stop me. So I left it alone.
I observed his behavior in curiosity as I'm not sure if this is normal. And it seems as if he uses the shell to catch particles of food in the Water column. Not sure if it's exactly that but he always keeps the shell turned towards flow. And I always see his little fingers in the shell.
Fasanating nonetheless.
