I was changing some water and looking at my urchin because he hasn’t left a little corner in several weeks and I was afraid he has gotten himself stuck. I noticed tiny little banggais swimming in his spines. I’ve done a bit a reading and I see they are typically bread into a separate tank and fed baby brines. I don’t have the time to set up another tank, so not an option. My sump doesn’t really have any room even if I could capture the male or babies. So the only option is to survive in the display tank, if possible. I don’t have baby brines and they aren’t available anywhere close. I can order from BRS, which usually gets here quick (maybe can have in about 48hrs). Then I have whatever time there is to hatch those. So my questions are:
is there anyway these things can make it in the DT? I have only 2 banggais, 2 clowns, 1 hippo tang, 1 goby, 1 coral banded shrimp, 1 longspine urchin, and some corals/shrimp. The corner they are in is low flow and isolated.
are live baby brine the only feeding option? Anything I can do while waiting to get the hatchery?
Or is it futile and I should just enjoy it while they are?
lastly, does it seem like a longspine urchin could get stuck in a cave?
