RUSTYS BROWN DOUGHNUT
i got a rock half covered with green zoas and guess what. there was a sea urchin the size of an inch on it in. as soon as i turned of the lights, the urchin ran loose and is now hiding somewhere in the 12 gallon of water i have on my desk. should i hunt him down and flush flush flush or should i keep this sexy urchin. i also have a very tiny mantis shrimp hiding somewhere, but im hoping he will die soon.
 
if it is a mantis it will not die it will probally kill everything else. try to get a pic if you can, urchins are good algae grazers i would keep it.
 
Your biggest worry is the mantis.It could cause more trouble than the urchin.
Just watch the urchin.You'll be surprised at just how fast they grow.I found a tiny(barely 1/4inch)long spine a couple of months ago.Now he's close to 1&1/4".
