Echinometra viridis – Green Caribbean Burrowing Urchin

Echinometra viridis, nicknamed the green burrowing urchin, is an echinoderm native to the shallow waters of the Caribbean. It is distinguished by its green spines which give it its common name and offers a captivating visual display when active, especially at dusk.

A Powerful Nocturnal Herbivore

Primarily active at night, this urchin spends its time grazing on algae on rocks, substrate, and glass. It effectively contributes to the natural limitation of microalgae in a well-oxygenated and balanced aquarium.

Beware of Compatibility with Corals

Although very effective against algae, Echinometra viridis is not recommended for reef tanks containing fragile corals. It can damage or displace colonies, especially LPS corals or unfixed frags. Its grazing behavior is vigorous and not very selective.

Maintenance Conditions

  • Origin: Caribbean
  • Recommended minimum volume: 300 liters
  • Temperature: 23°C to 27°C
  • pH: 8.0 to 8.4
  • Activity: mainly nocturnal
  • Compatibility: to be avoided with sensitive corals

Why Choose Echinometra viridis?

  • Aesthetic and original green spines
  • Very good grazer of encrusting algae
  • Suitable for specific aquariums without corals
  • Discreet and effective nocturnal behavior
  • Robust and easy to acclimate

Echinometra viridis is an impressive and useful urchin for algae control in tanks without sensitive corals. It is perfectly suited for experienced aquarists looking for a natural regulation solution in a minimalist or specific aquarium.
