Hey.
So I have a Blue Tux urchin that I got nice and blue. But after a while it started to fade and now it does not have any of its blue coloring.
Is there anyway to help to promote the blue color on him?
Thanks!

How is your water quality? They can't handle high nitrates. Has it lost any spines? That's a dead give away for poor water quality. And, how long ago did you get it?

I got it the same time as the anemone I posted earlier: around the beginning of June.
My nitrates have been reading 0 on my API saltwater master test kit.
It hasn't lost any spins, just the color.

Hmm. Water quality is fine then, so I can't really think of anything else. I can't find anything on it online, so I will promote your post.
