Thanks! Chowder!

Anyone want the dang thing ?! Take them away from me!!! ..................

They are hit and miss for cleaning algae. I had this one in my old tank that did a good job on some hair algae . If it is small like 2" and under I would hold onto it. Mine is 3" now and it is my wife favorite thing in the tank. Needless to say it is staying. It really has about one insedent a week where it nocks something loose or is wairing a zoa hat.

Forgot to mention they do a great job at removing coraline algae. This is mostly what they feed on.

What I want is coral and fish, not the urchin.
Does your wife like to get 2 more in your tank? :-)

I'm sure she would but I won't allow it.
