i had this happen once. i added a sea urchin and it was gone in no time. only other option is probably manual removal.

Any specific kind of urchin(preferably a small one)

+1 to tuxedo. he's a pretty good lawnmower when it comes to algae. i also have 2 pincushion urchins but they spend most of their time hauling shells and snails and sometimes frags around on their backs.

this happened to me too. I have been manually removing it because I don't want an urchin. I think it is getting less with time but it's hard to say.

I think manual removal is your best bet. The urchin kind of sounds like a Band-Aid.

If you can't get rid of it by hand, there's something else wrong IMO. GL.

Well I can't pick it buy hand bc the way the rock work is and when I pick it peliece float away

I don't want an urchin.
