Nice corals, Do you have any trouble with the urchin knocking over any of your corals?

All the time, I have lost quite a few prized pieces because of the urchins. But he keeps the corralline algae under control for me.

I need to do some trimming on some of these guys, but I cant seem to be able to take a saw to the big pink one. And I have cut the orange one before, but its a mean acan and has attacked numerous acans and other corals around it, hence why it sits all alone with everything at a good distance from it. I was about to frag the red micromussa and the night before the orange acan attacked and killed over half the colony. So while it is pretty it certainly needs its own space.
As far as the PPE's go, There is a waiting line with some pretty nice frag trades for a while on those guys. I have a family member coming over in the next couple of weeks that will get a pick of however many frags he wants, then I will post some stuff up for sale then.

I have been wanting some more creeping montis for awhile now and my LFS hit it big with an awesome shipment of lots of awesome acans, chalices and montis.
I was able to get some very small frags of sunset and chilipepper montis today, and will be getting some nice acans in the near future, especially a true rainbow acan, one I have been wanting for a while now.

Here are some picss of the new montis.
