IM fairly new withthe reef set up, its been up and running for about a monthand a half and things are ok, (now) but this is my question/problem. My girl went to the LFS and picked up 2 urchins, 1 pincusion and pencil,(already had a small cleaner crew) i wasnt too sure about adding them but we already had them in the house for one, the tank is empty(minus the crew) so i went ahead and added them...I had no idea urchins ate that much i knew they would eat but not like that.. in about a week they basically stripped all my algae off my LR and glass my snails died well the pencil urchin got 2 out of the 4 and i think the other two just starved to death due to the fact that they couldnt keep up with the urchins... welli have more LR and so storbought plants and algae but should I just get rid of the urchins all together or will they be ok once the tanks is more seasoned? 47gal high,35 lbs of lr 2olbs of base rock
