Hey so my pin cushion urchin so far hasn’t eaten any coral that I have put in the tank and only has picked them up and moved them around. Yesterday I added a hammer coral and my urchin is now moving towards it and I was just curious if I need to be worried about him eating any of the coral?

Rarely if ever they do but rather they pick at algae surrounding coral and of course drag whatever they can with them
