I have an urchin I cannot yet fully ID.
He looks somewhat like the Pincushion Urchin found here: http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/....cfm?pCatId=593 except its not.
The LFS guy showed me a book and the book read it would only grow to 3". The color is dark brown with pinkish tips. and looks more like this except for his color:

[b]Generally, are these urchins reef safe? Are they good at eating algae in the tank? Besides the reef tank are they generally safe with my Kuda in my seahorse tank? I was wondering if I can't have him in the reef tank, can I have him in the seahorse tank.
I'll post pics ASAP.
