Long black spine urchin ate my zoas!

My black Long Spine urchin ate my new zoas today! > clean the plug completely. So much for "reef safe". Theyre coming out of the tank soon, good thing it was only a frag.

Never heard of them eating zoos before but they definitely like SPS too.

yup! I had three small black urchins in my tank and the biggest one ate half of a open brain coral and the rest of the brain coral died because of it,I removed him and about a year later the other two urchins started grazing on my montiporias,zoa frags,and not to mention rearranging my rock work,causing corals to fall onto other corals.I finally removed the other two and will never have another one in my reef again!
