Urchins and refugiums.

[Roy G. Biv]

So I am going away for 2 weeks. I have everything automated, feeding etc.. I have 4 urchins. 1 Longspine, 2 pencil, 1 pincushion. I know if I leave them in the tank unattended they will destroy my corals. As it is now, I sometimes find corals face down in the sand in the morning. If they are left that way for 2 weeks that would be bad news. If I put them in my fuge for the 2 weeks, what kind of descamation can I expect. I have 100gal fuge, 150 lbs of liverock, cheto, and mangroves.

I think you will just be missing a little algae when you return. Better that then dead corals...

 

[michaeljames]

they should be just fine

I guess they are too slow to eat pods, unless on swam in its mouth

I have had a huge long spine in my sump for three months waiting for the big tank to be setup and has not caused any problems.
