    Speaking of urchins, do you have to worry about them knocking small corals over if they are glued to the rock?

    Not if they are glued. If they're not glued then you may have him knock something off once in awhile but I have a black short spine in my 75g and only a few of the corals that I have are actually glued to the LR and I haven't any issues in the past year and a half that I've had him.

    Ya mine moves a smaller rock every once in a while, but eats a lot and dosnt bother anything else. Its funny, my wife liked it, she thought the orange "eye" was "pretty". When she found out that wasnt its eye she changed her feelings toward it haha
