Tizzo, I think magic carp may be wrong about the pencil urchin. I had one of those, and yours looks cooler, but maybe yours just has some color variations from common pencil urchins. I think magic carp is right about the other id's though. -ali:happyfish
Maybe he's colorful cause he's just a baby?? I don't know much about these guys. Thank goodness I have enough coralline for him though. He is only about the size of a dime in the pic (including spines) Now he's only about nickle sized, but as long as he behaves, I'll keep him. I like watching him grow. When I first saw him, he could squeeze into the cracks of the rock almost completely. Now he can't get in them so good. Although he never ventures far from the original spot I found him in.:thinking:
