multiple sea urchins

Beau is hosting the January Meeting this coming Saturday the 14th at 6PM.  It will be BYOB as well as a snack to share and raffle items are always welcome.  It has been requested that there be “NO SHOES” on the carpet due to it being a whitish color.

He doesn’t have a tank to view but we will have plenty to discuss in hopes that it will get the NEW YEAR off to a good start.  The annual membership fees are due, so now would be a good time to get them in to our Treasurer Stacey Hahn.   Fees are $20 per individual or $25 per family

Attendance was low at the election meeting in November and no votes were taken at December’s meeting so we have decided to take votes for anyone that didn’t get the opportunity in November and will be attending this meeting.  
We will add the votes to November’s ballots and the announcement will be made during the meeting so we can go forward.
NOMINATIONS:
President:  Jim & Nacho
V. President: Ed, Bo & Daniel Leigey
Treasurer: Stacey
Secretary: Carmen & Angie

Let’s hope the New Year brings new members, returning members and new ideas.  The club is always willing to take suggestions to get the most out of the hobby we all enjoy.

I have a long spine sea urchin , and would like to get a few more different kinds of sea urchins. The internet says that they are peaceful, but will they live together in a 29 gallon aquarium?

Not sure about mixing, but it should be okay.  I would use a bit of caution with these guys.  While they are often purchased to control hair algae, they also can get quite large, up to 8".  That would be a bit much in a 29.  They also can be bulldozers in the tank, rearranging rock and corals as they feed.  The smaller tuxedo and pincusion urchins may work better.  All of them will eat your corraline algae as well.

I have 4 urchins together without problems. One is a black long spine, one is a pincushion and two came from Florida which are probably pincushion as well. The pincushions can easily move anything as big as themselves that is not glued down.
