Purple Pincushion Urchin

This is for a Purple Pincushion Urchin, Lytechinus variegatus. Amazing Algae Eaters

Size: ~0.75-2+ inches, size varies.

These hardy urchins are great for eating undesirable algae off the rock and glass in the aquarium. In a 30 gallon aquarium we recommend 1-2 pincushion urchins to give you a general stocking idea.  Colors and patterns vary.  They are hardy and easy to keep.

For our customers keeping seahorses, this species is not seahorse safe.
