Good point. I had a longspine urchin in my last system for a while... interesting critter but a bit too much of a sledgehammer. He ate my Coralline algae which was kind of OK, given that it was all over the tank, but the white tracks all over the tank looked wierd! He was returned to the LFS for credit.

Sound like Tuxedo's are more well behaved. I'll try that if it becomes necessary. By Royal you mean Royal Gramma?
