does it have white rings around the spines?
I have noticed these at FA, they seem to appear out of nowhere

They come in often of Fiji rock, I have a couple of them. They stay small and do a great job of cleaning.

Cool thanks for the replies! Im just worried if it'll kill my corals and what not. What do they clean? cpreefman ill check it to see if it has white rings.
Okay checked it and it has some white rings around its large talons. :lol

[Tim Marvin]

They seem to eat algea and detritus? I haven't notice much coralline dissapearing unless it just grows faster than they eat it. I haven't noticed any white paths across the rock like some urchins do.

[cpreefguy]

Does the Urchin have large talons? Can you take it of of any sweet jumps?

[markgsa]

Alright so he's a good guy then. Okay thanks for the info everybody.
