Why is this urchin collecting so much crap
Seems like this guy is going around collecting little pieces of shell and even corals for his back. Why is he doing this and is it normal? I’ve had him for a week Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

It’s totally normal, mine usually has three or four shells as hats all the time.

They just want to fit in and look like the rest of your tank.

It’s a tuxedo urchin. Perfectly normal, mine always has stuff on his back, front, sides.
