Yet another What in the world is this.
Found this on my new lr from lr.com, at first I thought it was just a funny looking rock but today it's not in the same place as it was yestrerday.

It's an Everlasting GobStoper, you know from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

They are algae eaters, not a problem, but I don't like having urcins in my reef, cause they are bulldozers.

Looks a bit like Echinometra mathaei, also known as the Rock-boring Urchin 8O
Like jamal said they enjoy calcareous algae and have been known to find the occasional coral tasty.
(just kidding it's a pencil urchin :P )

I got him out of the tank. It's in my ls tank for now, that will give me a few days to decide what to do with it. It is after all a little thing (about the size of a dime, maybe).

I have 3 of them in my tank. They may eat coralline, but they also spread it around through their poop. I like the diversity in my tank.

No clams, and since I only have 1 and he is really small he went back into the tank. Thanks
