Recap

Riddle: common name.

Clue: it's an invert.

Is it an invert that we would spend money on? Yes.

Does it have a shell? Yes.

Does it have claws? Decline.

Does it have zooxanthellae? No.
(zooxanthellae -- Symbiotic unicellular algae that live in the tissues of many tropical animals such as corals and sea anemones.)

Is it's max size larger than 1 in.? Yes.

Is it able to catch and eat small fish? No.

Is it a filter-feeder? No.

Is it a herbivore? By and large, yes.

Is it red and white? No.

Is the shell stolen?
No, it grows its own shell.

It is not a fiddler crab.

Does it sometimes knock things over?
It is possible. Although I have never had a problem with mine some people say they are 'bulldozers', so I will say 50/50.

But no, it is not a turbo snail.

Darn, that's what I thought it was.

Is it commonly found in most reef aquariums?

Do they ever bury themselves in the sand?

Whys, if you could take over the riddling for the day that would be great. I will be back later in the afternoon.

Packersfan21 · 02/03/2009, 02:23 PM

Can it grow larger than 3in. in the aquarium?

israelnajar · 02/03/2009, 08:27 PM

The max size is 3 inches. So no.

Whys · 02/04/2009, 02:48 AM

Sorry, been busy. I'm back.

Looks like the end of this thread as I don't think anyone else is going to be playing. Unless Token of the other few that were playing start up.

I hope you don't feel led on Packersfan, but you didn't get the correct answer. It is not a conch.

Whys · 02/04/2009, 07:55 PM

This thread can't end as of yet. I still have prize money to give away and there are 2 players that only need a single right answer.

I hate to do it to you isrealnajar, but I think it's time to declare this riddle stumped. You still get your point for riddling, but a new riddle needs to be started and you can't riddle twice in a row.

The answer was...

Tuxedo Urchin

+1 to isrealnajar for riddling. Isrealnajar is now in the lead at +9.

---------------------

I'll start a new riddle soon, but need a moment to think of something, unless someone else wants to step up. Packersfan, do you want to riddle?

Whys · 02/04/2009, 07:57 PM

Isrealnajar, can you tell me anything about an urchins shell? I've never thought of it has having a shell, but I guess that makes sense. Is it rock hard or more like a carapace?

buccard · 02/04/2009, 07:58 PM

Is it an abelone?

buccard · 02/04/2009, 07:59 PM

Nevermind...I see the answer was posted...

Whys · 02/04/2009, 08:02 PM

Good guess tho. I think the shell bit threw a lot of people off. Riddling is open if you want it buccard.

I believe its shell is more like a sand dollar. As its shell is basically the entire body of the urchin, not including the spines but they do grow from the shell. It has a fivefold symmetry much like a starfish would have.

A carapace is a dorsal portion of an exoskeleton of different animals.

I didn't try to throw anyone off with the shell question, I was hoping the claw question would do it.

Whys · 02/05/2009, 01:31 AM

I didn't actually think throwing people off was your intention. Tho that is a completely fair strategy. The game favors an answer, but if the riddler doesn't use all 3 declines and still gets their riddling point, stumping everyone does give an advantage. For example, you now lead the game.

I also don't think there was anything unfair with any of your answers. It is intended to be a riddle and you deserve credit for picking a stumper. Either way it's a learning experience. Certainly one worth my measly $5.

Hmmm... looks like I need to start a riddle. Give me one more moment.

Whys · 02/05/2009, 01:40 AM

Okay, I have it.

Riddle: common name & genus.

Clue: none.
