My pincushion urchin rearranges my tank every night.
I would glue things down, but plan on upgrading from my 70g to 120g in a couple months.
I woke up yesterday and found that he dropped my 3 head torch frag onto my 3 head duncan frag.
24 hrs. later the Duncan is still looking like this. 1 head is completely shriveled 1 head is half affected.
Will it recover with time or will it slowly die and affect the tank?

Just give him some time and stable water parameters, and he'll recover :)
 
Pesky Urchins man. I tell ya. On a positive note he just looks irritated. He will probably pout for awhile, as long as he keeps his colors, he should bounce back.
