Congrats! Dinoโ€™s were the worst, toughest problem for me and after itโ€™s been smooth sailing (outside of green hair algea but nothing a good urchin canโ€™t fix). Your tank is looking nice, how old is she?

Hey max, for the urchin, does it pick up any of your corals? Thatโ€™s the only reason why Iโ€™ve been hesitant to get one. But I definitely need it with my hair algae haha

@bigcreamy I do not have an issue with my tuxedo urchin picking up corals, because I give it hats to wear. Urchins will grab hold of these things to protect their vulnerable top from predators, but if we give them a hat which they can hold and will cover most of their head, the urchins will not feel a need to nab corals and rocks to protect itself! Hereโ€™s my urchin rocking today with a cowboy hat- you can find these type of 3D printed hats on etsy, using petg filament.
