Husbandry know-how of owners

FrankZ am 12.11.08#1
Seit zwei Jahren halten wir dieses Tier im Riffaquarium,es frist sehr gut die Algen bis auf die weißen Steine runter,es bleibt nichts zurück wie bei anderen Seeigeln und man sieht genau wo er gerade war.
Zu dem gefährlichen Umgang haben wir keine Information vom Händler erhalten was leider sehr oft üblich ist.Da wir uns aber immer im Meerwasser-Lexikon informieren ist auch noch nie etwas passiert.
Ansonsten ist es ein gut zu pflegendes,interessantes Tier,was bei geschützten Umgang(Gummihandschuhe)keine Probleme macht.
