Megan Blake –
The Radiata Urchin arrived healthy and active. It has been in my 50-gallon reef tank for three months and is thriving. The coloration is vibrant with clear red and blue spots. It doesn’t interfere with corals and stays calm around other inhabitants. A great addition to a balanced reef setup.

I bought this for my intermediate reef tank. It settled in well and has not shown any signs of aggression. The spots are distinct and the size is within the expected range. I appreciate the clear care instructions provided.
