Anyone have any troubles with urchins in their tanks? I have a 75 Gal reef tank and am looking at the urchins available on this site. I know they will eat the coraline but I'm not too concerned with that. Will they cause any other problems... wil they hurt corals?

Have had urchins in the past. They are great grazers! My only problem was the fact that anything not glued down was "relocated" many times. I finally donated them to other new tanks with algal problems.

I'm just about to return my long spine urchin (today actually). I've had him for 14 months but within the last two, he has eaten all my mushrooms, two red brains, a torch, and all but one blastomusa. The things got a taste for $$$ things.
I see you live in Rochester. I'll sell him to you for $5 it you want one still.
I'm definitely not saying that this is normal. I've never heard of another one doing this.

I just picked up two purple urchins from this site while I was in an order. I figured I'd give them a try.
