We got a pencil urchin for our aquarium today. He is about the size of a quarter when all stretched out. This is the best picture I have so far.

I can't wait until I get my salt water tank set up. We have a big one in storage that is brand new, I don't want to set it up because we are moving in the fall!
I cant see much of yours but I'm sure its beautiful!
That little urchin is cool! I have always wanted another small tank with just seahorses.
If you can will you post pics of your whole tank? I absolutely love them!

Sure! More pics to come!

The one thing I do regret is not drilling my tank before filling it. That way I wouldn't have to have an overflow box to my sump system. It gets more and more complicated the further I get into this!!

Here are some of the other inhabitants.

We added a tank buddy tonight, and then we lost one! I walked out of the room and came back just a few minutes later and this is what I found!

Our cleanup crew is pretty fast. They knew he was dead right away. And my totally immature BF pulled it out and shook it in front of me. Totally grossed me out!!! Why do guys do gross things like that!

Anyway, I'm pretty bummed. The shrimp in my tank are my favorite, now we only have one instead of two. Bummer!

I love your urchin! I absolutely LOVE fish especially saltwater but I never had a good enough set up so I only have a large freshwater tank now with 2 Oscars.

He is really cute. I think my tank is suffering since I took some of the liverock out. I used to have a freshwater tank, and we just got this saltwater when we moved to Austin. There is so much to learn!!!

Did you check out the other thread I posted? The link is just a few posts up.
