I have two Purple Short Spine Pincushion Urchins for sale. I actually have 3 and they have eaten up all the algae in my tank. I'd like to keep one for maintenance. They are medium sized I would say, maybe about 2" across. They mow through Bryopsis like it's not even there.

Cautions: They also eat coraline algae because they eat everything down to the bare rock. They also love to pick stuff up and carry it around like smaller snails and loose frags.

I paid $20 each, selling for $10 each.

They look like this:

I'd be interested in one. Aside from algae would they harm anything else? Zoas /sps?

I've had them for about 4-5 months and they haven't harmed anything else, fish, shrimp, SPS, Zoas, etc. The only thing that should be worried is algae.
 
Wish you were closer because I'm battling bryopsis right now and get tired of manually pulling it out at every water change.

I got mine from DFS. I think they're out right now but they get them in regularly. The trick is the shipping though, you need to order them with other stuff!
