I'm looking for a small urchin or two. I guess I want a colored/common or tuxedo urchin. Not the type that eats coraline algae and bore holes in live rock and not long spine. Before I go to the store, anyone from Richmond/Vancouver selling/trading theirs?

i was under the impression all urchins eat coraline? I dont think its a big deal, the stuff grows faster than they can eat it and it gives everything a nice look.

I have two tuxedo's and they eat coraline algae along with my turf algae......if you don't want to loose coraline these are not for you.

Ok, let me change my requirement. Eating coraline is fine as long as they don't take chunks of rock with it. In other words, I'm not interested in urchins such as Echinometra mathaei.
