Aquacultured Pincushion Sea Urchin, also known as the Flower Urchin, is a popular ornamental in the aquarium trade. As the name suggests, it has a round, pincushion-like body covered in numerous spines that may be colored in shades of red, purple, or brown. These urchins can reach a size of up to 4 inches in diameter and are known for their ability to move quickly along the substrate using their numerous tube feet. In the wild, they are found in rocky areas, tide pools, and coral reefs. In aquariums, they are known for their ability to help keep the tank clean by consuming algae and detritus.
