2 urchins?

[Kapachuka3]

So I have a 32.5 gallon and want an urchin as a CUC probably a tuxedo urchin would I have enough room for two?

 

[Spare time]

Probably. You can always put nori in for them if you are worried.

i have 2 i put them in the reefer 250 then i move them to a 26g tank and they are doing fine together
same as this

You should be able to have two. I had two in a 29 gal for several years. I would supplement what they ate from the rocks and glass with nori. I tear off a pice and put it in tongs near their under side and they would grab it. Right now I have a pencil and a pincushion in the 29gal and two tuxedo and a Halloween in a 65g. I love urchins and will probably end up with a couple more

I have two in a 65-G system without any issues.

I just went to my LFS and they had a massive pincushion a white one would that work in my tank?

2 here in my 90. Had 3 until the pencil urchin after 5 years suddenly developed a taste for coral. Imo it might have been starving of algae. It was re-homed.

Decent price....I would honestly consider one urchin and one of those brittle stars. Brittle star will clean up areas you just can't get to....

Cool I don’t really know anything about brittle stars and they hard to keep and do they die easily?

Regardless of how many, make sure your corals are glued down well or they'll be "on the move". Meet Roomba our tuxedo

Not hard to keep at all over my history....they will leave corals alone in my experience, eat detritus under rocks in sandbed you want rid of. When I feed mine makes an appearance briefly to take any scraps. It's not as sensitive as a true starfish is...

Do you feed urs?

 

[CanuckReefer]

Do you feed urs?

Nope. It eats whatever detritus from sandbed, under rocks etc, and when I feed the fish it may come out and grab whatever is floating by. No need to feed specific.

Lol, thats wild....I have seen all kinds of stuff carried around by my two but never the corals themselves. 'You don't belong here, I'm gonna take you for a ride!'
