Stupid urchin
 
I thought my clowns had quit laying eggs for some reason. I seen last week she was eating like crazy and pretty large again. Sure enough she layed a batch and they were tending them that night when I last seen them.

Next day when I look, they are having a fit, even {or so its seemed}, looking to me for help. My stupid urchin was in their pipe, eating for all its worth. Not my blue tuxedo but the larger version.

Poor clowns were helpless against it. He never moved for several days, I assume eating eggs until they were all gone.

Guess who is next to be "all gone"...

That's too bad Doug.
Were you going to see if you could raise the fry?

A timely end, but it would not pass the "sight" test for me

I love my tuxedo urchin but I can see why so many people have a hate affair with urchins.

I'm developing one with my long spine. I don't mind him knocking things over but the little bugger is chowing down on all my coraline...

Just traded in my urchin. The one with thick red stubby "spines". It mostly went around eating coraline algae.

I buy small urchins, let them roam around and mow things down till theyre big and trade them back in. lol.
