Default Urchin BTA compatibility
Everything I read states that black longspine urchins are reef safe but I haven't been able to find any info regarding longspine urchins and bubble tip anemones. I know the urchins can move corals/rocks around but I'm not sure if it would be a problem if it got too close to the BTA. Any ideas?

They love algae even coralline algae...their spines are venomus, with it's sting being the equivalent to that of a bee sting...sensitive to alkalinity changes...may mow through colonies of polyps and damage corals.

It shouldn't have any issue. I have 3 urchins in my tank. 2 short spike and 1 long spike with 2 bubble tips in the tank.
