Long spine black urchins should be kept with extreme caution due to their venemous spines and their habit of eating sessile inverts such as sponges and corals. The Tuxedo and Pencil urchins are excellent candidates, just pay attention to it's eating habits. The word "Urchin" comes from an Old English word which means "Hedgehog" which urchins resemble! HTH.
