Black long spiny urchin in sump???

[TCoach]

Hey Everyone,

I had to tear apart my reef today due to a couple of frags falling into it that I really wanted to save. In doing that, I found my BLSU had been given quite the hair cut recently. I'm guessing it was some of the new hermit crabs from my Reef Cleaners order. Anyway, I carefully got him out of the DT and put him in the first chamber of my sump (refugium).

Anything I need to be aware of? If he gets into the 2nd or 3rd chamber, will he start munching on plumbing or electrical?

Just trying to give the old man a break. He came with the tank and is more than a few year old.

Thanks!

He'll probably just flock to any algae in the sump. Can't see him chewing through anything electrical when there's so many other tasty morsels to nibble on.
