Sugar Magnolia March 12, 2007 Share March 12, 2007 (edited) I have a tuxedo urchin in my tank. Other than the occasional fragging of my zoas, he's a model citizen. Edited March 12, 2007 by Sugar Magnolia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dschflier March 12, 2007 Share March 12, 2007 Well I have 3 of them and will be keeping them in my refugium. Currently I have 2 in my main display tank and I think they are pretty cool. I have had no problems with them but I do hear the same that they eat coraline. it dosn't bother me though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny March 13, 2007 Share March 13, 2007 I'm a huge urchin advocate. I love them! We have blue tuxedos (which I also would recommend), long spine (which knock over a lot), rainbow (which aren't that great with algae b/c they mostly eat meatie foods), armor urchin(I would recommend this one as they don't move your rock or corals and they eat lots), and pencil urchins (not recommended with corals). good luck!
