The Pincushion Urchin is a popular species of sea urchin in the aquarium trade due to its unique appearance and ability to help control algae growth in the tank. It has a spherical body covered in long, pointed spines that give it its distinctive “pincushion” appearance. The spines are usually a mix of black, brown, and white and can be used defensively to protect the urchin from predators. Pincushion Urchins are generally hardy and easy to care for, but they should be kept in tanks with plenty of hiding spots and low levels of copper. They also require a steady supply of algae or other plant matter to graze on.
