resize the pic to 500x500 (largest) so we can see what it is for sure. Can't tell if we can't see.

download photobucket and do it there, save and then use the "manage attachments" (on here) when you reply to a thread, to upload the pic. There is a thread on here that explains it better than that. Sorry, I just know how, can't really explain with out knowing what program you are running etc. Do a search on "posting pictures"

Good job on the pic. That is an urchin and usually they eat algea I believe. I could be wrong. What type of rock is that white thing? Is your tank cycling now?

If you do not have alot of algea then you need to get nori sheets like tang food I would think. I may be wrong.

Very nice baby urchin. The urchin I had was in a 125 gallon tank. First off... how big is your tank? If you have a small tank where the fish can't get away... as he gets bigger he will catch your smaller fish that aren't very fast. (trust me I know... mine caught my damsel's when we put them in a holding tank to take the tank down and move it around one day) other than that... they mainly eat algae. I would put algae sheets in the tank on a clip for my tang... and from there... he would go around and scavage off the rocks. He was very active and would move when you weren't watching. They are very interesting creatures and I believe you will enjoy him. :)
