Diadema Urchin

[stefday]

Hi,

I cant seem to control outbreaks of briopsis in my tank.

I have read that urchins will eat this. Has anyone any experience with this and if so where could I buy one?

I have tried increasing the magnessium levels but this just led to problems with my corals.My algae blennie and emerald crabs dont seem that bothered with it.

I would welcome any advice.

Thanks.

I've heard of urchins eating all types of different algae although I have no personal experience with this.

How's your phosphate level?

it can be hard to shift I know Hectors Gobies eat Filamtous Algae but not sure if bryopsis would be to tough for them
