Tuxedo Urchin eat Macroalgae?
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the tuxedo urchin (Mespilla globulus) eating any kind of macro algae control, specifically caulerpa.
Thanks! |

I've always thought they feast on coralline algae. Specifically. I'm sure it's made a dent somewhere though.

I am reviving this thread to see if anyone has an answer as I am considering one for caluerpa control. Thanks.
