Diadema setosum – Long-spined Sea Urchin

The Long-spined Sea Urchin (Diadema setosum) is a fascinating species of sea urchin native to the coral reefs of the Indo-Pacific. It is characterized by its long, black spines, giving it a distinctive and prominent appearance. This species is widespread in tropical waters and plays an important role in the reef ecosystem.

Diadema setosum is a herbivorous sea urchin that primarily feeds on algae. In an aquarium, it is especially useful as it helps regulate algae growth on the rocks and substrate, contributing to the maintenance of a healthy reef aquarium. It requires a stable, well-filtered water environment with enough space for its long spines. The minimum aquarium size should be 200 liters.

Feeding: The Long-spined Sea Urchin feeds mainly on algae, grazing on surfaces in its habitat. It is important to ensure there is enough algae growth in the aquarium to meet its dietary needs. Additionally, it can be supplemented with seaweed sheets or specialized sea urchin food.

Important for the care of corals and fish

is the constant maintenance of salinity, as well as the use of a good sea salt, such as the Fauna Marin Professional Sea Salt.

The salinity should always be between 34/35 per mille, respectively 1.022 and 1.024 density. Regular checking of the density is an absolute must in marine aquaristics.
