    Reef safe urchin that eats coralline off rocks and glass?

    Many of them do to a point. If you are looking for something to actually keep things clean, you are going to be dissapointed!

    Aptasia Eaters Peppermint Shrimp

    Don't try to inject kalk - it is a pita and if you miss the nem shriks up and vanishes. Mix up kalk with fresh water (ior use f aiptasia) so it is the consistency of tooth paste. Turn off your pumps. Using a syringe with no needle, smother the aips with the paste, covering them completely...
