Ok so I have two urchins that hitchhiked their way into my 24g Nano. Originally they were the size of a pea, even a little smaller. Now they are bigger than a golf ball and they're knocking stuff over constantly! They are growing quite rapidly. What's the best way to remove them and what should I do with them? I have a 55g FOWLR also (has one urchin in it) and a 12g. Or would LFS take them? I've never seen urchins like this for sale.

Here's a pic of each one I took this morning. Keep in mind that yellow leather (although pouting) is quite large...to give you an idea of size.

Well when it comes down to it, all of this stuff should be left in the ocean... but it's not... and it's our passion, so we do what we can to make it thrive. The urchins have already been in the id section and there were many debates as to exactly what kind of urchin these are. Talked to LFS, bringing them there tomorrow.
