Description

🔍 Description:

The Rose Pink Urchin is a gorgeous and eye-catching urchin known for its soft pink, lavender, or pale magenta hues and uniform, rounded spines. Native to shallow, grassy lagoons and reef zones, it brings both aesthetic value and function to any reef tank.

Must Have

✅ Why It's a Great Addition:

Active Grazer: Constantly forages for algae on rocks, glass, and substrate.

Visually Striking: Soft pastel coloration adds a unique, elegant touch to your tank.

Peaceful and Non-Aggressive: Won’t bother other inverts, corals, or fish.

Carries Camouflage: Often picks up small shells or algae to carry, adding personality and charm.

Notes for Success

⚠️ Things to Consider:

Frag-toppler: Like most urchins, may knock over loose coral frags or plugs when moving around.

Needs room to roam: Best suited for medium to large tanks with open surfaces and algae growth.

Supplement if needed: In clean tanks, offer algae wafers or dried seaweed to maintain nutrition.
