Hermit v urchin???

[Gaters]

I got a small pincushion urchin from Macca last week. It has been fine until today when 1 of my halloween hermits was on it snapping off spines and eating them:mad:. I got it off-but the urchin has now moved to the waterline and hasn't moved for a few hours. Has anyone else had this and will the urchin recover? Cheers Gaters:D:D:D

Hi Neil i believe the Halloween hermits are not classed as reef safe or so Macca was telling me. I may be wrong better check with Macca first . HTH Twiggy:D:D

Cheers Eric, i only have 2 and they've been good as gold until this incident. I'll have to put them in the sump on the new tank if they get out of hand.

Hi Neil did Macca say they were not safe when you bought them as i am sure he told me they were not, best sump them m8 if they continue with this Twiggy:D:D

To be honest i think Macca said they were like any hermit-with caution. The urchin has moved now and is busy munching algae off of the glass so it looks ok.:D
