Hi Jimmy here. Just got a 255 litre tank installed. Saltwater.
Adding my invertebrates.
Couple of snails
Tuxedo urchin
Fire shrimp
Cleaner shrimp
Green emerald grab.
All was good until i saw my urchin eating my fire shrimp. (Still alive)
Is this the circle of life or is my urchin an assassin

Welcome to Reef2Reef! And I have never seen an urchin eat a (healthy) shrimp, they rarely even eat meat assuming it is a reef safe urchin. What kind is it? Only other thing I can think of is the system is too new, shrimp was dying and urchin was starving. Or it's an urchin species that eats other invertebrates.

He's a tuxedo shrimp. Small little fella.
