I used 13 of these little gems to help clear my tank of hair algae which
they managed to do very successfully. After a couple of weeks when the algae
had been munched away and there was no signs of it coming back i decided to
return all bar one of them to my LFS for a credit, and the one that i have
kept has increased in size by about 20%. I found it beneficial by adding a
couple of algae wafers once a week just before lights out, thats of course
if you don't have any other form of algae in the tank.

Cheers

I acquired a blue tuxedo Urchin from an acquaintance of an acquaintance
today. He was unable to care for it anymore...aw hell..he went to prison
and
is going to be there longer than his roomies are willing to care for his
tanks, so they gave his stock to me. I owe my friend one for arranging
this.

1 yellow tang
2 cleaner shrimp
2 emerald crabs (little bitty)
couple dozen blue leg hermits

and the blue tux. I've never owned an urchin before, and when they were
brought over, it looked pretty sad. A great many spines had fallen off,
and
he has not moved in the 2 hours since being acclimated and added to the
tank. I have no idea how long he was in the baggie, or how well he was
cared
for before this. All the other stock appears healthy to me. Any
insight/tips
on the blue tux?
