I have a few of these guys that need to go, i think i got too many for my tank and sump.

These guys are spineless, and for the most part have been on my glass. 2" test/body.

 

(4) $7 each

 

Not my pictures, but it'll give you an idea. I can take some if you would like. Right now, these guys are dark purple.

I believe they are suppose to turn out like this.

I also have these nerite sp. snails. They do an awesome job of cleaning the glass and detritus in my sump. I put a bunch of them in my main tank and they've been doing a really good job. Theodoxus/Clithon neglectus I believe they are called. These guys remain mostly in the water. I know other types that likes to climb out, but these guys stay in.

 

.25¢ ea. I think I have about 30 that I could spare.

What do the urchins eat? Are they reef safe?

 

their main diet is algae, and reef safe only if you don't mind them eating the good algae as well, coraline. They've been on the glass mostly and eating the algae on the back. I don't mind them eating the coraline so I like them.
