Free but will accept anything for some more color in my tank :)

Okay So I have an Urchin free to a good home! Its a Purple Long Spine Urchin. Originally from the coast, bad hadnt seemed to harm anything until today! I noticed he stripped a line off one of my corals. I know its not a disease because the coraline below it is stripped in a line up towards the coral then it just continued on up. Now I have never seen him harm anything like zoas/mushrooms/sps or anything until today! Hes been in there about a year or so. He keep the algea to a low. Good for a Fowlr or Softie tank possibly but I cant promise anything. Maybe you have a Huge sump and want to put him in there to keep it on a controlled level. Up to you, Hes just free! Ill get a pic of him real quick. I do like zoas/frags or anything of useful trade, but Dont have to trade to take him home :)

Look at the coral just ot the left of him, HE ATE IT! It was perfect the day before and doesnt look like decay looks like his beak got it!
