URCHINS AND STARFISH TOGETHER???

[ersico]

Has anyone heard of or had a problem with thier urchins getting attacked and eaten by starfish. ie. chocolate chip starfish eating tuxedo, pincushin or even purple sea urchins. just wondering? thanks

nope, some fish will eat them but in aquaria it is mostly the Harliquin shrimp

I've heard of it yes, but not sure if the urchin has always been healthy from the get go.

c.c.'s will eat quite a few slow moving critters and sesile critters so..... there is a fair chance that it would eat an urchin. Probably not the the blue tuxedo though as they are toxic.
