    hello, just got a bunch of frags.. my pencil urchin does move rocks and mows close by my mushooms.. will it break my fragile little pink birdnest frag? the branches are thin like toothpicks.. has anyone have problems with these urchins versus some small hard coral frags or any small corals for that matter?

    thanks

    Urchins have been known to mow over small frags and encrusting corals. Some people have good luck with the not getting near them.

    My pin cushion has run off with sooo many frags of macro, never to be seen again. Urchins are a pain in the bum but i love them at the same time.

    my pincushion has been carrying a frag of zoas around on his back for the past 2 months. I'm too scared to go near him to pull them off- those spines are much too sharp looking! :p
