Proper aclimation of a tuxedo urchin.
I know that some of the livestock that we keep needs more and more careful acclimation. I have never kept an urchin before and I have one being delivered tomorrow so I would like to know if I can get any insight on "proper acclimation" of this species.
TIA Jimmy

When I got mine, I drip acclimated it over a period of a couple of hours.
They are great creatures. However, they will put anything that is not glued down on their backs. My favorite has been the floating thermometer. Best of luck, Roy |

I have a tuxedo as well, drip method here too, only thing is, it wandered through some hair algae and is now covered in the nasty stuff, I've been keeping a close eye on it for any signs of stress (dropping spines, discoloration, etc.) but have not seen anything yet. I hope it doesn't smother it, it still looks healthy though, from what I can see of it anyway.
