Does a sea urchin's make good pets?

Seahorses can make wonderful aquarium pets. As long as one understands that there are few other tank occupants that can be introduced into a seahorse tank, the tank needs to be a slow moving tank and decor needs to be added for anchoring. Seahorses are not strong swimmers so the tank shouldn't be too large, fast moving or lacking in anchor spots.

These wonderful animals are not a good beginner saltwater fish. Seahorses also will not do well in an aquarium with most other fish or with stinging invertebrates (anemones, corals). They require careful feeding and very good water quality. Read up as much as you can on keeping seahorses to be successful with them.

Buy captive-bred seahorses (rather than wild caught) both to limit disease (common in wild-caught) and to ensure that they will eat frozen foods.

Is a male Black Widow poisonous?

Yes, the male Black Widow has venom. But they are very shy, much smaller than the female, and much less aggressive. Their diminutive physique means they have small fangs, small amounts of venom, and they can't deliver the kind of deep bite (and high venom volume) that the female can. Unless you saw a male Black Widow in the web of a female courting it, you'd likely never notice or otherwise encounter one. A link can be found below so you can at least see a picture of a "couple" of these arachnids. You're looking "up" at them from their ventral side, and the red hourglass of the female is very apparent.
