    Poor Urchin

    Tiffy i havent heard many people complain about killing the corals, you should be ok. also it depends on which types you get as well. i have a short-spine urchin and he hasn't picked up anything yet. i think its those pincushion and tuxedo's that do that.

    Poor Urchin

    during cleaning today, i didn't see my urchin attached to my filter inlet and when i moved it, he got pinched between the inlet and a rock. some of his spines broke off close to his body. do those things grow back? should i fear him dying because of it?
