    My blue tuxedo always has something interesting on him, usually a snail or hermit, but the optic has been in him for 6 months or so, and now the bugger has stolen a zoa colony!

    My urchin, who looks like the yours in your pic, does exactly the same things.

    I think they use it a camouflage. Look! I'm a rock

    Gotta love those urchins and their camouflage. When I had one it would grab the Hermits.

    lol, thanks guys, yeah, I love his ever evolving camouflage, although, I'm not sure where he thinks he's going to hide with a optic on him, but good luck buddy.

    And yeah, he's always grabbing hermits, I love watching them flail around until he gets close enough for them to grab ahold of something. This is the first time he's pulled a coral off the rockwork though;)
