    Hey, I added a small piece of chaeto algae to my tank to help with nitrates a little, and my damn tuxedo urchin has picked it up. He carrys it all over the place and wont let go, which is fine with me; but im wondering if hes eating it or not?
    It doesnt seem that he is, hes had it on him for about 4 days. What yall think?

    They do eat Algae, but I don't know that they'll be able to eat Chaeto faster than it grows...
