Default Pincusion Tuxedo Urchin - Help

I got a Pincusion Tuxedo Urchin, and he is fine, minor loss of spines, but doing fine, just a spot, got him $10 form a friend. He moves at night, hides during day.

But, he has a bunch of rubble stuck to him, looks as if his sensor/suckers has picked them up and he will not drop them, is this ok?

Like little pebbles on his body, only a few though, like 5-6.

Like this?



If so it's fine. My guy also likes to pick up frag plugs and rearrange the tank!

thats all your urchin is going to do...just grabs rubble, blending in with his environment....i just hate when he grabs a tiny frag of something i buy and carries it around the tank...i've had mine for at least 7 months...its doing great and requires no attention whatsoever....everything should be that easy...enjoy your little guy.

Yup, just like that! So if I understand you correctly, it is to help blend in? Well thanks, I feel better now.

Small frags... I hope tog et a frag grow out tank in the near future. I could even maybe make some money. :-)
