Good points: Eats algae like crazy, interesting to watch-always looks different depending on what its carrying. Good tank cleaner. Bad points: Bulldozes corals & eats coraline. I had mine about 2 years & then it died. Alex, you have a large tank, it would be fine there. |

They get a bad rap as far as moving corals around but is more gentle when it comes to that than other types of urchins. As far as removing coralline algae I wouldn't know because I still have to scrape it off the glass myself  They do carry stuff that is loose around the tank in order to camouflage themselves from what I read. Mine carries around this ball of cheato  |
