Thinking of buying an urchin on Sunday - either pin cushion or blue tuxedo. I have a few questions:
1. my tank is pretty clean (minimal algae growth in one area + the wavemaker and return nozzle - pics below) so I am planning on buying two little fishes seaweed to supplement. How often/much should I feed it? Can you tell when they are hungry?
2. all my corals are glued down except the open brain which is on the sand bed. I’m assuming it is too big but is it safe from being picked up?
3. My rocks are stacked and not glued. My big turbo snail has been on every rock and so far none of toppled. Do you think that means the urchin can’t topple them?
4. I saw one forum post about someone’s urchin eating spirobid worms but haven’t seen any further info. That would be cool if that was true because clearly I have a few lol. Anyone have experience with their’s eating them?
