Anyone with a FOWLR tank wants free urchins?

I've got 4 hitchhiker black urchins from when I bought Liverock from Tampa Bay Saltwater. They've grown to about 3 inches in diameter and are different from their long-spined cousins, as I'm told they top out at about 4 inch maximum. They are super active and roam the tank all day long and are certainly one of the critters that non-hobbyists flock too. Everyone loves them... except me. I don't know which one it is, or if it's all of them, but they're munching on coral now. They do such a fine job of keeping the rock clean I'm wondering if having 4 in my system is too many and they're getting hungry. So, FREE to good FOWLR home! If you're interested let me know and I can begin the process of collecting them. You have to wait until they're crawling across the sand to scoop them up, otherwise you risk injuring them by trying to pry them off a rock. They are exceptionally strong!

Didn't mean to make the post sound like you have to take all 4, take one or take them all, I just need to reduce my urchin factor. Thanks.

I had long spines do that when there was not much algae present in the system, started eating Acros

Makes sense, not a patch of nuisance algae in the tank. Too bad they don't like cyano.

Still I feel 4 urchins to far too much for my system, if anyone wants one speak up!

Thanks to Fishguy5 (John) for giving these guys a good home. Now to put some coral in the tank.
