![]() I was asked about my cuc by a fellow aquarist and told him about my two lovely urchins. I have two tuxedo (or pincushion urchins) in my reef who just wander around eating all kinds of algae including coralline algae. He was concerned about this but the coralline algae grows back as fast as it is eaten. The urchins are fascinating, covering themselves in all kinds of things including small hermit crabs!! I have to pull these off on occasion. They don't do any harm to corals or other inverts and are ignored by the fish. I think they are a brilliant addition to any reef tank.

AuthorI have always enjoyed keeping fish and began this website when doing the research before setting up my own modest reef. I couldn't find this type of site so decided to make my own. Archives
