I got 9-10 of these guys with some TBS live rock. They started around nickel to quarter sized and have grown to the size of lemons in just a couple of months.

I don’t think they are “long spine” urchins as they lack the red spot and don’t have long spines. Also don’t seem to match the pictures of rock boring urchins and don’t bore into the rock at all. They do seem to chew at the base of my SPS frags which is annoying, otherwise they do good work. Just wondering how big they may get?
