Hitchikers

I posted a picture of my urchin carrying around my 3 mushrooms in the POTM Chat. Well now he has picked up my montipora. I wouldn't mind him carrying him around except it is a bigger piece and he is knocking into other corals and pissing them all off. My question is how do I get that montapora off? Can I just pull it off or do I have to wait until he drops it? I don't want to hurt his suction cups like you can a starfish!:-/

 

I think of you just wiggle it a little it will come off

 

That was the reason why I got rid of mine. Luna

 

I think this is too funny, sorry abut you coral though. What kind of urchin is it? Good luck removing your coral!

 

+1 I had a tuxedo urchin stick a 3" maxima clam to its back. Luckily, it didn't drop it behind the rockwork or anything before I had a chance to pull it off.

 

Wiggle and twist

 

We did get it off. It was attached fully like the muchrooms. Thank you! I was told a purple and green urchin so I really don't know the exact type it is!
