The Long Spine Urchin (Diadema spp.) is a fascinating marine invertebrate known for its elongated, needle-like spines that can grow up to 30 cm long. These spines are typically black, though they can sometimes have blue or purple hues, giving the urchin a striking, dramatic appearance. The urchin uses these spines as a defense mechanism and for movement. Its body is small, with a central disc, and it primarily feeds on algae, making it an essential contributor to controlling algae growth in marine environments.
In aquariums, the Long Spine Urchin is both a functional and visually captivating addition, providing natural control of algae while adding dynamic texture to the tank.
