Just thought I'd chime in. I have a tuxedo only about 1.5" -2" he goes everywhere in my tank, been on my back glass for days now. Does a good job at cleaning. Have him and two snails in a 90 seems to keep the algae down.

Only downside I've seen is he eats the coralline too. But to be honest not much.

He has not knocked any frags down yet have a few plugs just resting on rock he seems to be very careful to clean around them.

I just bought a frag of Xenia I'm going to throw in my sump, but he hasn't touched then at all. And he won't even go on my rock island covered in gsp.

Urchins for the most part are an awesome part of a CUC. My tuxedo does a great job. Sure he will carry things around that are loose but i dont put him in the bulldozer category, some other urchins maybe. I just try to make sure frags are glued down and i havent had any grief.

My long spine would definitely go after those. It avoids the palys and mushrooms though.

I love both my xenia and gsp... girlfriend does as well..
My goal is to have GSP cover the entire back glass on my 90 DT
Then have xenia cover the back glass on my 55 when I finally get it set up

Stripped my rocks right down to the white.
To me, this is counterproductive, grow the coralline, urchin eats?
Fish only tanks.
