Hey everyone,
I need to donate my urchin. I've had him for about 9 months and he's doing great problem...he has started destroying my corals...apparently he thinks he can do whatever he wants also, I have a 36 gallon and with adding more coral I think he needs to go.
Problem: how do I get him? I don't want to hurt his feet.
Also, if anyone wants him let me know. I'm in maple ridge, BC. Otherwise I'll take him back to J and L. Gotta happen in the next few days though

Move him gently with tongs or the like until he is on the move. When they get going they are way less sticky and easy to scoop up with a net. Might even jump off the rock with enough gentle harassment.
