Pencil urchin care

[Kapachuka3]

I have a pincushion urchin currently and i basically trained him to whever hes hungry just go up to the top of the water and i give him seaweed. I just went to the store and picked up a pencil urchin that i felt bad for cause he was in the tank with another dead one. He was only 15 bucks. How do i feed him seaweed, will he have a mouth like my pincushion? Or will he eat my clownfishes leftover food?

Same way, though training success can vary. When I had a bunch of urchins in my smaller tanks I'd rubberband seaweed to some small flat rocks. They were pretty adept at locating and scavenging it in short order.

I used to have a green urchin that hunted snails, hermits and once took down a horseshoe crab.

I miss my green urchin. It would actually haul rocks with seaweed up to its lair since it was too lazy to move down to feast on it.
