Hi,
I'm looking for an urchin that will be good for eating coralline algae getting rid of it from the screen and has long enough spines to home a yellow stripe clingfish. I know originally they live with long spined urchins but their spines will end up growing too big for the tank, as Ive been told within months they can become size of a football. Also been told they wouldn't clear up much of the coralline algae from the screen which is tough stuff.
So can anyone recommend a suitable urchin please that will clear coralline algae and also doesn't grow soo big but big enough for a clingfish to get inbetween its spines.
Thanks, help really appreciated.
