    sick sea urchin

    i believe you mean a Pencil Urchin aka rock boaring urchin. Mine would sometimes sit for days in the same spot when he found something to eat and occasionaly his spines would lay sideways. I wouldn't worry until he starts to lose spines, Pencil's are quite hardy and if you've had him this long i...

    my best guess is that your turbo snail might have some microaglea growing its shell, thats the mainstay of a dwarf angels' diet. its probably why he's nipping it him. its usually a 50/50 chance with dwarf angels and corals/reefs.

    Fav tang???

    Hey Leopard, I had a Kole tang, their diet isn't much different than most tangs. They do eat large amounts of film algea off the glass and when that is gone mine ate Nori just like the rest. They are very hardy and readily eat in the aquarium. I'd reccommend one. HTH
