urchin vs. coralline

[jammerz]

So i've been wondering how come i only have coralline in my overflow box and my sump. And why my urchin is so huge. Am i on to something here?
After reading a couple posts i think my urchin is eating all my coralline. what should i do with him if so?
I have an a75g with just a small clown trigger and an goby eel, will the clown trigger eat the urchin? the trigger is only about 4 inches right now. thanks in advance for any input...

yea he probably is munching on the coraline, not much you can do, its what they do. Unless you get rid of it, but i say the benifits far out weigh the negatives.

I find coraline looks kinda tacky. If you like it, send that urchin my way!

aresgod; they benefits of having the urchin outweight the negatives of coralline?
im kinda confused--

the benefits of the urchin outweigh the negatives of the urchin i believe he means

 

[jammerz]

Isn't having coralline more beneficial than not? Plus its pretty....
Or is it more benficial to have the clean up of an urchin rather than not having an urchin?

 

[1979camaro]

i think to clarify further he is saying he would rather have an urchin eating all different kinds of algae than counting on coraline to block the growth of nuisance algaes
