My Tuxedo Urchin is picking up my mushroom Coral! How to put a stop to it?

[JamesCTID]

Hello,

As the title says, my tuxedo urchin is picking up my mushroom frag and carry it around. He did this with another mushroom a couple of months before which I lost due to it dropping off somewhere. Also he's picked zoas up in the past.

I tried to re glue it but he Still manages to get it off.

Any ideas ?

Have you shown him pics of your sump so he knows where he is headed if he doesn't change his behavior?

I feel like those of us that keep urchins are likely to just finding our own ways of securing things.

I'm very heavy on the following approach:
-- cut off as much of the frag disc/plug as possible
-- lots of Super Glue with some time underwater twisting it into secure mounting and hold as long as possible

I'll give it another glue tomorrow hopefully it'll hold better this time. That's if the urchin hasn't hidden it where i can't find it haha
