Description
The Pencil Sea Urchin has a host of clubs and dull spines that project from its central round beige colored body. Colors of these creatures range from browns to shades of reddish and purple.
The Pencil Urchin is a very interesting creature that will adapt very quickly, they are terrific scavengers and will come out of hiding at night to seek out algae and small organisms in the live rock and substrate.
Starfish and urchins will feed on waste, small organisms, invertebrates and algae in the rock and substrate. Also supplement their diet with small minced meaty foods such as clams, squid and shrimp.
