Nope. Sorry on the glass cleaning. You will see where they have been though. If I don't clean my glass weekly, there are trails and bites all over the glass where algae is growing.

Aw well I had good hopes , algae getting bad near sand as I’m afraid to bring the scraper near due to possible scratching of glass. Urchin is still welcome tho , you can see the algae near the bottom of glass pretty well in this pic

It's good to give them nori. Mine probably gets enough food, he no longer cares to go after the nori I add.
Fun critters. Much more entertaining if we take time to observe them. They are smarter than we give them credit for.
After adding this coral, he went to see if he could "use" it.

As for algae above sand line. I know the fear of scraping down there.

Not if it is bigger than him. They do have a size/weight limit. I'd watch for that though!
