Jewel Urchin

Details

Lytechinus williamsi  - The Jewel Urchin is a great clean-up crew critter for reef aquariums, known for its compact size and peaceful nature. They can eat both tough algae on rockwork and film algae on the glass. 

As a herbivorous grazer, the Jewel Urchin plays an essential role in controlling algae growth. This captive bred urchin is sustainably sourced and accustomed to aquarium life, making it a hardy and eco-friendly choice for your setup. They tend to pick up small rocks or sand around the aquarium so make sure your frags are glued down.
