Diadema urchin. Although there are no guarantees with that one either.
Its just one of the downfalls of an acrylic tank. They're easy to scratch.

Plastic razor blade should be able to get it off without scratching, but be very careful. I fell your pain...I don't like acrylic tanks just because it scratches if you look at it wrong. Boy O boy, I love your stand and canopy...very classy looking. The rock work looks pretty awesome as well.

thanks for the replies yeah everywhere I look I get (your bound to get scraches sonner or later) that's one mayor down fall with acrylic I even have bottom less tank so I wont get sand scratching my tank but guess nothing works. Thanks flower I guess I did go the classic look they don't make them like they used to. when I bought the tank it was a mess I sanded ,prime it then painted it and even changed the hardware it was hard work but the tank came back to life.
