He's the bomb

This urchin was packaged so well!he was active in the jar.Acclimation was smooth!jar salinity was 1.023, so we did a slow and steady climb to 1.025.He hid behind the heater for about 12 hours and has been working hard for more than a week now.manbetx3.0最新He's done a great job mowing down the algae and going places the snails never have.He's about .7 inches in diameter without spines.Perfect addition!!!The picture is from day 2!you can see him, where he's been and where he still needed to go.
