Hey, no problem :) I'm a big fan of corallimorphs, so I'm decent at IDing them.

I'd feed it meaty foods like mysis or silversides. I'm sure it'll take anything you would feed a fish though.

Do you have other fish in the tank that rely on copepods or feed on them heavily? You should consider adding a refugium to your system to provide a safe place for pods to breed.

What species of ricordea? I assume you mean Ricordea florida and not Ricordea yuma, correct?

I stand corrected :D

Hopefully the urchin will take care of the problem for both of you. It's nice to hear of a LFS that has staff that give truthful responses.

The "spider web" is probably from vermatid gastropods, which are harmless filter feeders. Beneficial, but annoying at the same time.

My orange diamond sleeper goby will bury himself in the sand when he's scared, so yes they can do that. Do check to make sure he hasn't jumped out of the tank though. They're notorious jumpers.
