Urchin Eating Coral?

[R3verb]

Hey guys. Came home and I saw My long Spined Urchin right up next to my coral. He seems to be going around the coral but should I be concerned he will eat other corals if I put them in (this is my only coral so far)? Thanks!

I have 2 long spine urchins and they have never bothered any of my corals.

i have purple pincushions and they just cruise and dont bother anything

I certainly know that everyone has different experiences, but I got rid of my long spine after I found him munching on zoas and a lobo that I had had for over a year. Long story short: maybe it will, maybe it won't.

Its probably eating the coraline algae growing in the area they dont really eat corals
