Info

(Linnaeus, 1758)

Tripneustes gratilla is also known as the Sea Egg, Priest-hat and the Hairy Pincushion Urchin. It has five or ten double rows of white and red spines separated by spaces of red, purple, white or black. To camouflage itself, it often covers itself with rocks, sponges, shells, or algae.

It prefer tanks with live rock so that it can graze on algae and just in case you have a problem with Caulerpa algae these urchins work wonders in aquariums that suffer from filamentous algae infestation, consuming this undesirable algae quickly.

Sehr einfach in der Pflege. Lebt in meinem kleinen 180 Liter Becken schon seit ein paar Jahren. Er sorgt allerdings auch dafür, dass sich keinerlei Kalkalgen etablieren können.

Er ist sehr genügsam, bekommt aber ab und an ein Blatt getrocknete Norialge. Wenn ich ihn an der Scheibe direkt unter der Wasseroberfläche sehe, lege ich einfach ein Blatt Norialge auf ihn und er zieht es sich dann Richtung Mundöffnung.

Er ist gut zu beobachten, da er ganz schön zügig unterwegs ist und er macht immer wieder akrobatische Einlagen, wenn er mal wieder irgendwo den Halt verliert und an einem Vorsprung baumelt. Schon beachtlich wie agil so eine Kugel ist. Ein tolles Tier und auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen.

Sehr schöne und pflegeleichte Tiere. Vertragen aber kein phycoEx. Sind nach der ersten und zweiten Dosierung verendet. Schade. Werde mir wieder welche zulegen. Sind sehr gute Algenvertilger.
