My Urchin has a lot of green hair Algae on him....is that normal / ok? Don't they eat that?
 
Nutramar Foods
My urchin would have an afro on him from time to time, haha. This is perfectly normal. While it is eating the algae on the rock, it is probably picking up some algae in the process (urchins have a tendency to carry things around the tank)
 
Same. Mine likes to wear bubble algae hats.

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

    Votes: 19 33.9%

  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

    Votes: 7 12.5%

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

    Votes: 8 14.3%

  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

    Votes: 12 21.4%

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

    Votes: 9 16.1%

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

    Votes: 9 16.1%

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

    Votes: 2 3.6%

  • I haven’t really considered this before

    Votes: 4 7.1%

  • Something else (see my comments in the thread)
