Hello,

I just acclimated a blue tuxedo urchin to my tank. He is currently climbing the glass, but theres a halloween hermit clinging to him and catching a ride. It appears he is cleaning the urchin but lve never had an urchin before. Should l separate them?

It’s fine, actually it’s likely the urchin picked up the crab. It won’t hurt to separate them.
BTW always take pics under white lights. I can’t even tell it’s an urchin in those pics.

Your urchin will pick up many things in it's journey, I would not stress about it.

Just make sure to glue your frags! :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

Oh wow… yeah l will be gluing them down. So the hermit wont hurt the urchin or vice versa? I can just leave them? Its kinda cool he is riding the urchin
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
