Special Requirements and Information:
Sometimes called "Cup" corals,
Echino are normally very placid but can produce
stinging tentacles or skin sensitivity. Since they don't
require bright light,
and can be placed in shadows.
However, high lighting can produce spectacular
color results, such as in this beauty.
Begin low in the tank until they become
acclimated and then move them where you want.
Feed anytime during the day. Once they're
accustomed to your tank, they can be introduced
to frozen foods such as chopped blood worms,
artemia or squid. Place the defrosted food
directly over the Echino polyps.
