bosshog Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Never heard of them not being able to handle exposure to air. Mine come up to the top of the tank and parts of them are exposed to air, haven't seen any adverse effects from this. Maybe a bit more research into that. Drip acclimate the urchin and he should be good to go. They are one of my favorite tank critters, except when they are carrying around my frags.
