I've also seen them in at our LFS eating the silicone of their holding tanks as well. I think the problem may have been that they like to bore into soft limestone rock and my frag tank where it was doesnt have any so it picked the next best thing.

these are pretty primitive creatures...and they do chew up things like coral substrate, sand, etc...anything that may have algae or organic debris.

Feeding sea urchins some dried seaweed (non flavoured , non salted kind) is fine...but supplementing that with fish food tabs once in a while would be great also.
