Amazing, just amazing... the cup and the "spaghetti" ball-type macro are definitely the best growers... the pics of the refuge are AFTER I took all that stuff out, wowsah!

Where the urchins causing any havoc in the main tank ?

Actually, no... we didn't want to chance putting them in there in the first place, we got 'em (one free, one $5) for the refuge only... they keep the glass clean. They, also, I found today, like chewing on the small grape, that's why I had a ton of cup and brillo-pad stuff to export, but no grape. In the pic, the grape area is on the right, it's like a briar patch, low and tight, because the urchins will chew on any of it that grows above the rest.

Is the smaller a pincushion ?

The smaller one is a dark purple (almost black) local caught sea urchin, that Jeff gave me; I think it would be called a pincushion.

Josh, I'll trade you some razor caulerpa for some cup...

Give me a about three weeks, and remind me, and I'll GIVE you some cup, it grows fast...
