Sea apple /urchin got eaten..

[Homer]

Found my poor thing... Only shell left... I think I want to blame my huge blue legged hermit crab... Or maybe the tank water parameters killed it...

ANyway,here are the pics.

More likely it was the water parameters. What are yours?

They have been stable for the last 6 months.. but recently I have Diatoma.... so maybe urchin ate them... and poisoned him self...

 

[Bifferwine]

Nah diatoms aren't poisonous. Specifically what are your nitrates at? And do you have large temperature swings from day and night?

Temperature is constant. Nitrates - No idea...when moved i lost the testing fluid, Haven`t ordered new set. But it should be ok... I do weekly water changes, don`t overfeed...

and diatomus kill snails.... so i figured that they are poisonous ...

Diatoms don't kill anything. They're just ugly.

And FWIW, how can you say your water parameters are stable and yet you are not testing?

I meant to say dinoflagellate ... Got confused in the species :(

Yes, test your nitrates. Get a new test set. You don't know that your parameters are good if you can't test them.
