Mine's a pincushion urchin but I'm not sure what type. The spines are all purple plus all the shell pieces and halimeda it carries everywhere he goes!

red turf algae
Well, I've got a problem with red turf algae. Been noticeable the last 2 months since I replaced my Phoenix 250 14k halides with new ones. ( maybe got a bad batch) Anyhow, my 2 tuxedo urchins just can't keep up with it, so today, went down to J and L s and bought 5 long spine urchins. Hope this does the trick. If it works, I'll have a few extra urchins for sale.

I've had a bad case of red turf for months. Thought I'll never be rid of it. It absolutely covered all my LR. On top of that, I had green Hair algae.
The red turf is all just about gone, and the green HA, too. Things that I did for my 130g: Water parameters: Cal, ALk, and Mag levels are monitored and topped up when needed. I added about 7 Mexican turbo snails. I added 3 tuxedo urchins. I added one seahare, which I never did find after that day (been couple of months). I was still using my crappy, ineffectual HOB Remora Pro (too small for my over-stocked system.) I didn't really step up on my water changes, just doing my normal thing. I must say, since I've implemented these steps, my LR's coraline algea is BACK! My HA is gone to the point where I need to post on Canreef very soon to ask if anyone will buy the urchins and some Mex snails from me because I am afraid that they will die of starvation soon. So do that, and give them time to do their job. Mine was about3 months, but all of a sudden, I've noticed bare Rocks. Good luck.
