sunflashx Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 A little black sea urchin tagged along with my live rock. Do I want to keep him? Provided he makes it through the amonia spike and whatnot associated with a new tank? I have a 7 gallon AGA Bow tank. Thanks Link to comment
printerdown01 Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 I say keep 'em until he gets large enough to knock your rock over, and then trade him in at a LFS. Beware he will probably eat coralline as well... but they do make a killer addition to the clean-up crew. Link to comment
Dave ESPI Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 I assume you have Caribbian Man-made rock, they are algal turf eaters. quite reef friendly. keep it. Link to comment
Fishobob Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 KEEP HIM!! I love urchins, they are the funkiest creatures in the tank. In the future I'm going to set up a 10g with only LR, sand, corals, urchins and a few little inverts Link to comment
