sea urchin eating zoa's

[Mstanker]

So I just picked up a nice 10 polyp blue/purple zoa three days ago. On the second day i saw my black urchin around the zoas. I did not think much of it as it moves around the tank all day. After working all day and came home to find my urchin in the same place. Humm thats weird, So later today this Urchin moves away from the spot and now I see the 10 polyps down to a single one polyp. It looks like it might make it but now sure...What should I do to boost its health back? Also what would everyone else do? h

I've read sinking algae pellets - we have one that we got to eat our GHA etc and he seems to just scour the rocks and back wall - do you have a refugium? Put him in there if you have algae growing in there - just an idea.

Thanks for the help! I will try to supplement with pellets.

Sally's seaweed salad from san francisco bay brands. I put it in for my pigmy angel and the urchin "pig pen", ate it all
