Good Afternoon All,

I keep finding large bites taken out of my small open brain. It regrows back but it stunts its growth. Caught my large sea urchin munching on him. Maybe there was some algae and then the urchin got hungry for flesh!

Anyone experienced this before?

The urchin got kicked into the softies tank.

My experience with urchins is that they will eat anything in their way till they realize it does not taste good. Some things they realize it fast, others they take a few large bites out of. I think of it like some things are bitter to them and they just touch it and nope out, but others are like delayed spicy in that they take a few bites before they notice, and regret it.
