![]() If your tank is only three months old I doubt it would be covered in algaes.
With nothing to eat he will starve to death. |

![]() I finally got rid of my hatpin urchin (maybe 12" diametre). Not only was he carving up my acrylic tank, but he would occassionally mow a channel through an SPS. I'm not sure it was purposeful, the SPS just gets in the way as he moves across a rock.
It was coraline algae that my hatpin ate. One day a rock would be pink, then next day... barren rock.
