White Urchin

Details

Lytechinus variegatus - The White urchin is a beautiful and ravenous herbivore bred and raised at Biota North Carolina. These inverts make great additions to your clean up crew as they can eat both tough algae on rockwork and film algae on the glass. They tend to pick up small rocks or sand around the aquarium so make sure your frags are glued down.
