I haven't been around much the forum recently but I've got quite a bit of a problem with Myrionema hydroids, brown buggers are spreading rapidly along one of my rocks and I know it won't be long before they jump to the next rock.
I've read that the Salmacis Bicolor urchin is the best natural control for these guys, but I'm having a little trouble identifying this particular critter.
This appears to be a Salmacis Bicolor:
Perry's Corals & Inverts - Photo 1 - Full Version - Rate My Fish Tank - commonly known as a pink urchin.
The problem is I'm not sure how to identify this urchin, is that the only look for the Salmacis Bicolor? What defines the critter as a this particular type. My reef shop has suggested the photo attached as a bicolor urchin.
Thanks for your help.
