Tuxedo Urchin problem

[ghill]

My tuxedo urchin just made a meal of my Fireworks Clove Polyps. Anyone else ever have this problem?

Not with clove polyp specifically, but with other soft corals (mainly GSP)

What? Really? I'm ordering 10 of them tomorrow if they really eat gsp. I had one for 2 years and it seemed to avoid the gsp - got lots more now that I would like "trimmed"

Yup

Whoa. Never crossed my mind. I have two tuxedos and they've left my corals alone. Probably because they have plenty other stuff to eat. Thanks for the heads up.

Yes, my blue tuxedo urchin named “bandit” has eaten my firework clove polyps 3 times now. Luckily I have a separate tank to let them heal up whenever he does this.
