urchin with mantis

[Jerry Gonzales]

With this being my first mantis shrimp, I was wondering if I could add a long spine urchin with my peacock mantis. She is pretty large and agressive. So some feedback would be helpful. Thank You Jerry

I dropped an urchin in with my mantis and they were fine together for weeks. I notcied the urchin not growing as fast as the others in my larger reef tank so I traded them out. The "new" urchin with my mantis lasted about a day.

I've seen O. scyllarus eat urchins, so I would be cautious.
