The Long Spine Urchin is an impressive sea urchin known for its very long elegant black spines and its excellent efficiency in controlling algae in a reef aquarium. Very active mainly at night, it spends its time cleaning rocks and decor by consuming various algae and organic matter. Its unique appearance makes it a real focal point in a saltwater aquarium. It requires some caution, however, as its long spines are fragile and can sting.
