If I'm not wrong, should be pencil sea urchin. Not a bad thing, it helps to clear algae. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member iskay Posted August 3, 2012 SRC Member Share Posted August 3, 2012 Pencil urchin. Eats coralline algae. If you find your LR's coralline disappearing, you know why.
