The Purple Urchin is a small urchin that is dark purple in color with medium-sized spines, which are tan in color. These Urchins are nocturnal and do most of their grazing at night. During the day they will usually stay stationary on the aquarium glass, or in hiding spots in rockwork. All Urchins like lots of rockwork that they can crawl and feed on. They are excellent algae eaters, but should not be kept with corals.
