Blue Spotted Urchin Eating Zoas

[chief hill]

Anybody hear of one doing this? Well I had 2 small colonies on plugs that were doing well until this little buggar got on them and ate them all. Into the sump anyone interested in a zoa eating blue spotted urchin?

Find one that eats blue clove and you can retire

My long spine DOES eat blue clove. Mowed a frag of it absolutely clean in one pass. And a Kenya Tree frag, too. Unfortunately, his spines are over 6" long and he moves all over my 75g tank every day, eating the coraline, knocking (glued) corals down and irritating my anemones.
If he wasn't so cute....

I have 2 urchins currently and they don't eat anything that looks like coral - algae I guess
Model citizens at the moment
Long spines are amazing but wow do they grow big quickly !

Well I had 3 small colonies of zoa no more than a silver dollar size. He was on them and they're gone. No flesh left on any of them. It's in my sump now.
