I definitely love my urchin in my tank! Always wearing some sort of hat! Holy holy grail!

What’s been your tank saving critter for things like algae, aptasia, or other pests?😬
That's amazing. What will the urchin eat now that all the algae is gone?

I’ve heard they can live off the coral line algae just fine!

Gotta watch this video I’m really really suffering from the dreaded aptasia myself, but I don’t have a nano I have a 150gallon

Nudibranchs work really really well 💪highly recommend
I haven’t had the best luck with the blue tuxedo urchins. Both of mine haven’t lived very long, about a year, but the little white or white and purple pincushion urchins work just as well and have been going strong for 2 years so far-cheaper too. If you have a reef tank without an urchin, you’re doing it wrong!

Is that right?? Did you have algae in your tank when they died? Or do you think they starved? I’ve heard they’ll even live off eating just Coraline. Would love to learn more about your experience!

@@tylerhuxford3440 I don’t have any visible algae in my tank, but all my snails and urchins have done fine minus the tuxedos. For whatever reason they don’t live long for me. They definitely eat the coralline though because I never have to clean my back glass panel which is amazing.
Holy holy grail

Please lose the background music...really intrusive and not necessary.
