Echinothrix calamaris – Black Diadem Sea Urchin Algae Grazer
Echinothrix calamaris, known as the black diadem sea urchin, is a highly valued herbivorous echinoderm for its ability to effectively control encrusting algae in reef aquariums. It is distinguished by its fine, long, and extremely sharp spines, which offer natural protection and a unique aesthetic appearance.
An excellent algae grazer
This specimen is primarily an algae grazer. It feeds on the biofilm, filamentous, and encrusting algae present on live rocks and the substrate. In the natural absence of algae, it is essential to regularly provide dried or fresh algae such as nori to ensure its good health.
Sharp spines: handle with care
The secondary spines of Echinothrix calamaris are particularly fine and sharp. It is therefore essential to handle this sea urchin with great care, as accidental contact can cause superficial but painful injuries.
Maintenance conditions
- Minimum recommended volume: 300 liters
- Temperature: 23°C to 27°C
- pH: 8.0 to 8.4
- Activity: crepuscular and nocturnal
- Diet: natural algae + plant supplements
Why choose Echinothrix calamaris?
- Unique visual aspect with long fine spines
- Excellent algae regulator in reef tanks
- Discreet algae grazer, non-destructive to decor
- Suitable for well-established aquariums
- Adds an exotic and functional touch to the tank
Echinothrix calamaris is a useful, aesthetically pleasing, and formidable algae fighter. It is perfectly suited for mature reef aquariums where it can fully express its grazing behavior, provided it is handled with care and has access to an appropriate diet.
