The problem with pencil urchins in captivity is finding enough nutrition for them. They usually starve in captivity.

I have a pencil urcin in my fish/invert system and he is a really awesome critter :D. He likes to crawl on my LR and doesn't do much damage. As for feeding, I feed him every few days with a sheet of dried fresh seaweed on a lettuce clip. I've had him for about a month and he is doing great :P
