This frag has been stuck to my urchin for around a week now, do you guys have any tips on how to remove it safely because i don’t want to hurt the little thing. Thanks for any advice

If you're not keen on removing a few feet (which isnt a big deal) you can try offering another piece of rubble! Or a flat shell.

But personally i just... take it off LOL, they don't get to wear MY zoa's... well not without asking atleast :)

I use a pair of tweezers, slip it between the rows of spines and lift the Zoas off without closing the tweezers. They'll let go.
