Mine was great! Until it ate half of my Galaxea and an Acro frag. Now he's a cool sump inhabitant.

I should point out - there are two different varieties of urchins that are often called Pencil Urchin. Only one of them sometimes eats corals. If it doesn't eat coral, I liked mine a lot more than my destructive pincushion.
