Added Eucidaris spp. to my 55-gallon tank after researching compatibility. It’s peaceful and doesn’t cause any coral damage. Only noticed a slight movement near a soft coral after a week, so I moved it slightly. Now it’s settled and looks healthy.

Grew a small group of Eucidaris spp. in a 50-gallon tank. They are active but not aggressive. I keep an eye on them near coral patches. Water parameters are stable and they seem to thrive.

The fish arrived healthy and has been in the tank for two months. It’s not very interactive, but it doesn’t harm corals. I’m still monitoring its behavior around polyps.
