Urchin Looking for a New Home

When I purchased my live rock I knowingly inherited this urchin. What I did not know was that there was a baby urchin, about the size of a dime, also lurking in the rock.

These two guys have done a pretty good job on getting my algae under control but they buldoze my corals. So at least one of these has to go so that I can add more coral. Their body is about the size of a golf ball. Spines included they are a bit smaller than a tennis ball.

I am not keen on shipping. Anyone in the Okanagan interested?

What have they been eating green or purple? how much do you want?

Too bad it was not a couple of months down the road I just added some inverts fish and corals so nothing new for a bit. But I like the urchins.

Eating both really. They do not eat hair algae. I am interested in trading for any frags you might have.
