Levitating Hairy Pincushion Urchin

[tmRoth]

I'm sharing a photo of my "levitating" hairy pincushion urchin, and wondering if anyone has an urchin that does this? I had a tuxedo urchin for years and never saw him in any position other than his bottom side against the rock or glass. I got this one just under a month ago, and he has been entertaining me with his (her?) acrobatics by sticking his side, instead of his bottom, onto the glass and just hanging there. He's also very adept at straddling across wide gaps to move from rock to glass and back. I never thought a sea urchin could be so entertaining.

I have one that frequently does the same thing. There does seem to be some individual preffeence from what Ive seen over the years.

I'd name him "Hairy Houdini"

i currently have one that flips over so his mouth is in the air for periods of time. Urchins are very weird creatures.
