    I bought a Tuxedo Urchin from a local reefer who was shutting down his aquarium. He was really moving in the aquarium and had a nice collection of debris on his body. When I put him into my aquarium he accidently got in the way of a heavy flow of a powerhead and all of his debris flew right off. This might sound silly but will the direct flow and the subsequent ejection of his debris cause any long term harm?

    Thanks

    I wouldn't worry about it, I accidentally knocked mine off the glass once and it got blasted across the tank by my mp10 (near full blast), its still kicking like 4 months later.
