Hi everyone,
I want to get an urchin because I think they're absolutely fantastic. I may or may not have gotten into this hobby because of the corals and inverts. I will feed it algae as needed in the form of nori or whatever is recommended. I'm thinking a tuxedo or pincushion would be best. I know to avoid the long spine ones. My tank isn't exactly long established, it's well past it's cycle, but I'm still struggling somewhat to keep my phosphates in order but I'm getting there. Phosphate high, nitrate 0.
Would this be harmful to an urchin? Are there any fish/inverts that have compatibility issues with them?
I have a 75 gallon tank, with a 40b sump. 75 actual gallons of water.
I have
1 / 2 cleaner shrimp,
1 blood fire shrimp,
1 peppermint shrimp,
1 candy pistol shrimp,
1 fighting conch,
1 Halloween hermit crab
- assorted snails and hermit crabs from ReefCleaners
On the skunk cleaner shrimps, I actually have 3, one in my 75, it's a big one. And two small ones in my frag tank. I had planned to put one of the small ones in the big tank but I'm not sure if it would go over well or not because of it's size.
