Mine today.. he is excellent at grabbing bubble algae and I just remove it from him vs the rocks,etc...

I was thinking about getting a blue tuxedo urchin in my 40-gallon breeder but I was concerned about them stealing things and moving them around. Do you guys find them to be pests

I've had my white pincushion for about 2 months now... dude zooms around the tank all the time... eating..and pooping.. and leaving little white trails everywhere he goes (after he eats the coraline off the rocks. They are bright white)

But so far he hasn't picked up anything.. he has plowed over every patch of zoas I have.. no harm to them.. or stealing

Hell of a clean up crew member
And cool Lil dude to watch too

I have 2 of them in my 90, so long as you stick things down they are fine, although mine do occasionally go and rip off some clove polyps it hasn't damaged the colony and they grow like crazy on top of the urchins as they spend a lot of time near the top of the tank. They are some of my favourite inhabitants.
