+mcallahan Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I'm afraid there isn't enough algae in my tank to keep my tuxedo urchin alive so I'm putting him up for sale. He's healthy and about 1.5'-2" across. I'll post a pic in the am when the lights are on..if he's still in visible range! $10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKipf Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 (edited) Did you ever have issues with it knocking stuff over in your tank? I really like the Blue Tuxedo, and currently do not have any urchins in the tank. However, it is a new set up and I would hate to introduce something that would go and mess up the place real bad.

I'd say it depends on how much algae you have for them to eat. My tank has 0 algae other than coraline, hence my concern. Tuxedos will eat coraline, but I've never noticed him eating any which adds to my worries. If you have a GHA or other algae around your tank, he should do fine.

He's never knocked over anything, but he picks up stray objects like cerith shells and puts them on his back to hide himself. He did pickup a very small (1/8") piece of SPS once and other members said their tuxedo puts zoas on their backs and carries them around. Come to think of it, mine came covered in GSP.
