Thumbs up Blue Tuxedo Urchin FREE to good (algae-filled) home

I've got a Blue Tuxedo Urchin that needs a good home. Spending most of the past few months trying to get my tank back to "pre-kids condition", and this little guy did a great job of knocking out the hair algae. Running out of food for him and want to see if he can help out another reefer.

He's FREE. But if anyone's got some decent sized colonies of "starter-type" corals and are willing to donate to my 100g it would be GREATLY appreciated. Looking for montis, zoos, leathers, mushrooms... pretty much anything that will be low maintenance.

If none available, no problem. Just want to make sure the little guy can thrive where he goes.

Hey mike
Nice to see you back ...
I still have The white polyps montipora I trade with you 4 years ago
It hasn't grown or fully color up but its still alive. I did some polyps morph since I have it,Anything from blue, red and white waiting for it to have a yellow polys then I can call it flip monti ...

I don't have much corals since my main tank is still down otherwise I will help you stock up.

@BurntOutReefer - He's all yours. Just make sure you've got enough for him to eat since he'll mow down that stuff pretty quickly. PM your info and we'll arrange pickup. I'm in Sherman Oaks.

Lawrence... Great to be back... at least for now. I guess I can count on you to keep that monti alive. I'm hoping to start restocking slowly so it's no rush. Thanks for looking out! I'll try to start attending more SFVR meetings though.

Thanks ChefZilla. Lawrence is definitely one of the most generous guys around. And I may have to take you up on that. I'll hit you up on PM.

@BurnOutReefer - Been getting offers for trades, but since I committed to you first, it's still yours. Maybe you can pass the little guy on to the next reefer in need when he's had his fill in your tank... Let's see how fat and big we can get him!

No worries... You were first so I'm leaving it up to you. I have no issues either way especially since ChefZilla and Lawrence have been so kind to help out. Your call... if you want him, take him. Otherwise, WayneL333 can have him.

Oh, no worries. I was going to offer him the corals anyway. Whatever you guys decide.

Mike, The frags are a variety of accidental sps frags and range in size. I can drop off and/or pick up the urchin this Sat morning if you're available. I'm going to be in the valley anyway.

Mike, I have bright blue mushrooms and if you don't mind loose shrooms I will give you as many as you would like. I am in the Lawrence and Brent's "pay it forward" club. I also have a small neon green toadstool leather I can donate to you and possibly some zoas
