    have a new 100 gallon tank that just cycled, so I got some like rocks, just 11 pd, and a couple of damsels.
    on one of the live rocks is a little sea urchin. do I need anything special to keep this little guy alive??
    I have standard lights and a sump filtration system

    the urchin will need something to eat.....is your rock alive? it will eat algae including coralline algae - if you don't have any, you may need to give it some algae (sheets).....or ghost feed the tank so there's some food in there....
