    Sea Urchins

    No thanks, ones enough. I am trying to get some coraline alge to grow on my LR and i am afraid this guy isn't helping any. He came attatched to a piece of LR I bought. I don't have any coral yet but will this guy hurt the coral when i get some?

    Sea Urchins

    I have a Sea Urchin like the one below. I heard that they can eat the coraline alge in the tank. Does anyone know if this is true. Is it safe to leave him in a reef tank?

The anenome did this last time i did a water change and came right back about a day later, i just...

    anenome looks deflated

    Can anyone tell me if it is normal for an atlantic anenome to deflate and pull back its tenticals back into its body. Mine has been doing fine since i got new 130w pc's on my 30 gal tank. Then i did a water change and the next day he looks like he is deflated.
