Nice urchin ronen, i have one in my fowlr, i call him the 5 finger discount. He used to be in my reef but he would take everything he came across. Got me angry one day when i saw him crawling across my tank with 4 frags attached to his back.

From what I have read they will graze on rocks and take parts of the rock with what they graze! That sounds pretty intense. Wonder if some are reef safe and others are not?

had the same urchin knocked over all my coral and rockscapes. they are sweet looking with that purple tint they have. but i had to get rid of him. amazing how they can bend those spikes and get into the littlest and tightest places
