Hi Guys
I purchased a Fire urchin (Astropyga Radiata) before doing the research on it. Anyway I found this little monster eating my Trachys, loosing 2 and left this one in this condition.


Not a great picture I know, sorry.
I've smoothed any sharp edges left but wondered is there anything else I can do to try and save it.

Many thanks
Mark

Wow i will research as well b4 buying an urchin. I had tracy re-heal a portion of its outer ring but was not as far gone as yours. Mine still puffed out and ate. But since so much is gone you have nothing to loose. Dip and feed is how i healed mine. Also moved it to a shadier area to hamper any algae wanting to grow onto exposed skeleton.
