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.
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.
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.
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.
