Aquarium Advice Freak
When I got my Live Rock 4 months ago...I noticed a few very small, black, urchin like creatures...they were smaller than a pea. You could hardly tell the were alive a moving.
That was then....THIS IS NOW:
Now I have 10 HUGE black urchins in my tank. Their bodies are about 3/4 of an inch in diameter, then with spines...they are 1.5-2 inches in size. They strip any and all Coraline algae that I get to grow...they are plowing into corals...and in general becoming a nuisance.
I am not one for "flushing" or otherwise ending the life of any occupants in the tank (except for a 6 inch Bobbit worm...as I had no choice) that are not adversely affecting the occupants of the aquarium. So...does anyone have any idea what I can do with these guys??? Are they a food source that anyone could use them for (hence continuing the circle of life and not just killing)??
Thanks for any advice!
