Urchin now eating corals?
I have a diadem sea urchin I’ve had for years and recently he has been munching on some of my new soft corals. (pulsing xenias and a type of tree coral). The corals where healthy otherwise, but I’ve seen the damaged parts he munched on. Not something I expect from a Diadem. I’ve had him for years and he has gotten along fine w/ the mushrooms, bubble coral, anemones, et al. << Indeed a little bit odd. I'd say he is running out of good algal food, and this is his next choice. I would feed him some Nori sheets, or maybe even ask a friend to take it for a while. It may be a case where it is starving. I've never seen any urchin eat soft corals in the aquarium. >> << Blundell >> Anemones and the lighting they need Dear crew, I have a twenty gallon tank that I would like to put at least two or three anemones in it and a few assorted hard and soft corals.
