I like your urchin variety
.
I like your touch tank, although if I had one I would stock it with Millepora, Distichopora, Stylaster, Actinodendron plumosa, Lebrunea neglecta, and Toxopneustes pileolus to top it off .
I have seen the long spine urchins here in the gulf, but I have only seen them on sandbars and very open areas with shallow water(under 8').
As for the ID, I don't think there is anyone at my campus who would has the depth of knowledge to ID your specimen. Eckerd College has a fantastic marine bio department, they might have a good DB (ill check later).
Iding a captives specimen is a real pain (more so than others), growth forms, color, etc. vary in captivity. Close examination of a coralite is a more accurate method (short of a genome sequence >_>)
Can u link pg 141?
