    Tips on how to get rid of Coralline naturally?

    Hey all! I have a 10+ year old 24 gallon tank at home that is self-sustaining, but has tons of Coralline algae in it. I know some people like it, but I don’t. Can anyone give any tips on what clean up crew to add to attack this? I was thinking a zebra urchin and some trochus snails.

    Can my urchin be saved?

    My pincushion urchin has been showing signs of stress for about a week. I did a water change and I think I messed up the salinity and made it too low. He spawned and then stopped moving around the tank. His little grippers and spines would move, he would react when touched, he just would not...

    Urchin hasn’t moved from his spot in days

    So I have a pincushion urchin who usually is very active. I did a water change a couple days ago and he spawned and now hasn’t moved from his spot for about 2 days. I know he isn’t dead cause his spines are moving and he’s holding onto a shell. He hasn’t dropped any spines either. I just find it...

    What are the most dangerous aspects of this hobby?

    Many of us have heard of a Palytoxin (If you haven’t, read this). Lionfish and urchin toxicity is also pretty widely known about. Corals and anemones have stung people badly enough to cause numbness, pain and scarring. Water and electricity…drip loops people! What are some other risks which...
