    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    +1 and it is probably destroying the good flora and fauna in your sand bed.

    ya i like it, but i just like the look of red sea star because its more star shaped lol, but i would definaltly not mind the orange, if red gets too big for my tank, which is up to 6 inch, and i am not sure if thats too big..is it?

    I really don't know at what point it would be "too big." But personally, I think if it takes up half the width of the tank, that's pretty big(Standard 29g footprint is 12" X 30").

    But I just remembered that a biocube is something like 18" X 24"? That's probably fine to go with the red one if you want...

    I really one the orange star in my 75g. :) I think rock-boaring urchins are pretty awesome. I will most likely glue my rocks together, just so I can have one. lol.
