    Picked up two Banggai cardinal fish yesterday and all ready they have moved into my long spines urchin. Here is a pic from the lfs when I picked them up. I can't get a good one of them in the urchin.

    Thanks OKF. It is awesome to see this relationship. Only problem is my urchin hides in the back where its dark durning the day where its hard to see it and the fish.

    I did notice that durning the night when the urchin is about, the fish dont stay with it, but rather near it within a foot or so.

    perhaps you'll get lucky and have a breeding pair - I've seen pictures with little babies in an urchin before......

    Yes!!! This is another reason why I got them. They spawn quite frequently from what I hear.
