I was looking in my tank today and noticed one of my macroalgae seemed to be floating about halfway up the tank. That's annoying since I tied them to rubble with fishing line to keep them in place. I took a closer look.

Yep, that's a red tuxedo urchin who decided to "wear" my macroalgae and pulled it, the rubble it's tied to and a snail that's bigger than itself up the tank way.

Is there an urchin weight lifting competition I could enter her in?
 
Does your Urchin eat your macro-algae? I am wanting to get one but am concerned he will eat the two types of macro-algae we are putting in the tank.

I'm not sure but probably. SOMETHING in my tank ate it.
