If you think urchins only eat algae, think again

This long spine urchin has been in my tank for quite a few years and when ever he can get it, he enjoys some clam for dessert.
I sometimes have to help him because when he approaches a piece of clam, he impales it on a spine and being he is all "thumbs" he can't get the thing off so I suck the clam off and shoot it where he can more easily get to it. This clam was a little smaller than a marble. He devoured it in a few minutes then moved along before any one noticed.






He is almost finished here. It takes him a while to maneuver it to his mouth but he gets it there.
