    found a new hitchhiker (urchin?)

    My wife and i were looking at the tank last nite with flashlights and found two of these some kind of urchin both about the size of a thumbnail. The pic is not the best it was about 1 am and took it with the lights off and a flash. If you can make it out can you tell me if its good or bad?
