Age requirement on R2R?

So just to be clear I should get this?
Tuxedo Urchin?

I was going to order in reef cleaners but they are out of stock. Where should I get one? Don’t want to qt anything right now.

Thats the exact one I have. I don't think you need to qt them like rest of inverts.

Technically, anything wet (including live urchins) can bring in disease - the odds of things other than fish doing so are extremely low, but it does happen from time to time.

Most people don't worry about it because the odds are super low, but if it's a concern, Dr. Reef offers quarantined tuxedo urchins (not as cheap as Reef Cleaners though).

This place: https://invertedreef.com/ sells QTed inverts. Dr Reef has apparently gone downhill in terms of fish QT quality (as in, both DOAs and fish arriving sick), so I'd be a bit skeptical about inverts from there as well.

I was also thinking of ordering from TSA. They always have great quality.

I heard the same thing. I was gonna order a yellow tank from them but I saw so many posts about Dr. Reefs DOAs I couldn’t do it.

Ah, I'd heard of a couple of cases recently, but I hadn't heard if it was a widespread issue or just isolated events. Hopefully they'll get back on track if there's a widespread problem.

Hahahaha, just realized what I did. The THIRD number isnt a 9... see, my age is showing. Hahaha, no I'm not old at all, just trying to remember my teens makes me feel that way. I was fragged in 1985. As the late great Toby Keith said, "Dont let the Old Man In"

Gotcha beat by 3 years! 1982

I am going to order some more snails and an urchin for the GHA. What do you think about a Linckia Starfish? They look really cool.

No linkia. They are expert recommended and challenge the most experienced hobbyist

Ok. I am glad I asked you that.

And what is the difference between the blue and red tuxedo urchin. The blue is 33 and red is 40

 

[Tired]

They're different colors. That's about it, far as I know- it's just aesthetics.

Oh ok. The price was different so wanted to see if there was a difference.

I believe it’s mainly this;
Blue is the left, Red is the right.

Meant pin cushion which was changed.

My tuxedo is carrying around a huge chunk of Zoas... Been that way for a couple weeks now. Zoas don't seem to mind and are fully opened. Curious to see how long this plays out and it the Zoas will grow out. It may be the next big thing... wandering Zoa islands...

 

[cdemoss01]

Well I think this thread was a success @Reefer Matt you were right about this being the next big thread!

Why are they considered expert? I have one.

Can you take them off?

I can take stuff off mine. It's grip is not very strong.
