Hey guys, hope everyone’s had/having a great weekend! I just got out of work and left with a 4th urchin. Now, I have one question for you guys;
How many urchins do you have and is there ever too many?
I have 4 urchins now, those four are;
2x Lytechinus variegatus - White Pincushion
1x Mespilia globulus - Blue Tuxedo
1x Tripneustes gratilla - Orange Spine/Halloween
I have called my newest one (The Orange Spine) Commander Orange just because I think I’ve got enough to class them as an army. Obviously I’d love more (I doubt I could fit anymore in the tanks, maybe I could get a 5th when Orange moves to my 4’ with the Pincushions) but I feel like there is definitely a limit to urchins and I’d probably say 5 is a great number for a 4’x2’ tank and a 3’x16” tank (2 in the 3’ and 3 in the 4’ tank).
