Yes it is nice but I would imagine you can kiss your coraline goodbye.

Big Als on Dundas has them

Hi Mitchell, looks like Echinothrix calamaris (Diadem sea urchin), although a very nicely colored one. Will be okay in a large aquarium, a small aquarium will be stripped of coralline very quickly. According to Fossa and Nilsen, they pack a painful sting so be careful!

I popped in to Big Al's on Dundas today, specifically to buy that guy! I didn't notice him when I was in there last time. But... bad news. He died. :(

His beautifully coloured spines were sprinkled all over the bottom of the tank. :(
