LOL...Boy you are making this easy for me Don and not doing so bad yourself! (LOL).
Back to corraline ...
Has anyone ever seen a significant decrease in their corraline after adding an urchin? I have had one or more urchins for at least 4 of the 5-1/2 years I have had a reef tank, and have always had lots of corraline. (I am one of those people who believe that urchins end up spreading more corraline than they end up consuming).

My friend has a urchin that chomps away at his coralline, but he doesn't care. He only has a little one and couldn't possibly eat all the coralline he has in his tank...Oh, btw Don...2 more posts to go! (LOL)

My tank is relatively new but all of my rock was pretty much covered in coralline algae when I got it. There were a few bare spots here and there and one big base rock with nothing on it. I seem to notice more bare spots now but it is hard to tell. My base rock however is getting a good layer of coralline on it. For now I have moved my tuxedo in the sump. I am going to take note of all bare spots and then move it back to the main tank in a couple of weeks.

You are lucky copepod with getting rock with good coralline coverage already on it. My friend got 110lbs of LR one time and didn't get a thing on it...It was the strangest thing I'd ever seen. He eventually got a little, but it was nothing to talk about.
Oh, and thanks Gabby! (LOL)

Here's my coralline update. I just took that little purple rock out of my tank and got a knife and scraped it all up! I was left with a white rock (which I will give to my cousin LOL), and a little container full of colorful scrapings which I poured into my tank. I cut my skimmer off before doing it and I'm curious to see what will happen later on down the road in a few months. Probably nothing though (LOL). My wife will just cuss me for making a mess and dulling up one of her knives (LOL). Who needs an urchin when they've got me. There is no way an urchin could hack up a rock as quickly as me no matter how hungry he is! (LOL)
