+Mitch Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I saw my tuxedo urchin releasing this white stuff from it's top (not quite dead center though). I usually see it releasing pellets (top, dead center) which I will assume is poop of some sort. Any insight appreciated!

victoly Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 When a boy urchin and a girl urchin love each other very much.... Sounds like in this case, he's lonely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+o0zarkawater Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 My rock urchin did it once when I did a serious water change and didn't temp acclimate the water. I've heard if they sense a big change in water parameters that it sets off spawning sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
