I was cleaning my tank and OLAH I found a small urchin(Porcupine) It is a hitchiker from some of the corals I bought.I don't know if this is a good thing for my reef tank but I read that it is daandngerous and poisonous. If I am wrong that is ok. Anybody wants it? I was able to catch it and it is in a bag. It will just die or flushed.

If you do not want it I will take it. they are not harmful, at worst case they eat algae and will eat some coraline as well. I have a few in my tank.

Only thing to worry about is if it starts knocking stuff down. If its little, I wouldn't worry too much. When they get bigger, they can eat some corraline, but for now, I say let it in the reef. :)

I have two in my tank. I bought them and put them in. They are about the size of a baseball. They have knocked a couple smaller rocks off. Got lucky no harm no foul. But I am looking at doing some thing with wire ties and securing the rocks in a way that they wont be able to knock them over.
They are very slow movers and some times you wont see them for days.
