easiest way for zoas to get spread around your tank.

Lol

Thats why I wont get a tuxedo urchin, lol.

I would love to have one of these guys, are they bulldozers too? knocking rock over?

They won't knock stuff over, rather they will pick up anything that's not glued down. (Eg. Any frags)

I've got 4 tuxedos, 2 large ( had them over 3 years) and 2 tiny ones. The big ones are getting so big that they can't get into the crevices, so I got the tiny ones to do that job). Keeps the tank really clean, along with 3 long spine urchins, a triton, couple hundred snails, and 2 emerald crabs.

I always wanted to glue some zoas to a hermit or snail :lol:

acutally, these zoas have been attached to the urchin for a good month. Still doing good. lol.

those zoas wold prob do well anywhere lol i got rid of all my urchins...they are satan spawns i swear and have it out for me lol :P

right now i have one white spawn urchin who doesnt move more than a ft on any given day and we get along great:P

Love my urchins, keeps the tank clean. ( I'm known as the devil to some people, so Satan's spawn would be appropriate )

What please are some of the pros/cons of a tuxedo urchin? I don't mind the stealing of coral bits, kinda neat.

pros: look cool, with their deep royal blue color.
eats algae, keeps your rocks and tanks clean

cons: loose stuff gets stuck to them,
don't eat hair algae.

I've got 4 in my main display and 1 in my nano.
I think they live a long time, cause the 2 large ones have been in my tank for over 3 years, and they were probably a few years old when I aquired them.
