This guy was about the size of a quarter with its spikes 10 months ago, he likes to eat my pink zoas( , and a leather coral(, But soon the nano will be ready) and i can actually clean all the sides of my tank, He can eat a sheet of algae in a day. Picture was taken during a water change, does anyone knowhow to get magnet cleaners to not leave that film on the outside of a tank?

*pointing up* Yeah...what he said 
and.. if so, use newspaper and a vinegar and water solution to clean the outside glass.

If your magnet already has dried salt and such on it, you'll want to clean it too...and let it dry.

I've got one of those too, but he's never given me any trouble nibbling on any corals. Mine is an algae cleaning machine! Started out pencil eraser sized, now it is raquetball sized with the spines. I wouldn't consider giving mine up. Plus, I want to breed Bangaii cardinals and the babies like to hide out in the diadema urchin spines. I'll find a picture of mine in a minute...

Ooooh purdy! I liked my blue tuxedo. He was an algae munching machine. Never bothered many corals, but would often decorate himself with frags, like the zoas in this picture.

That pic makes me miss my little tuxedo urchin. I would like another, but they do have a tendency to bulldoze as they make their way around.

It lived in a 26 bowfront, with seahorses (H. Reidi). It was chuck full of macro, and some problematic hair algae. There were some shrooms, zoas, and gorgs, but it pretty much left them alone. Except for the one or two polyps that grew off of the colonies, into the sand. Those, it thought, were very attractive hats.
