Hi, today I saw my urchin put my xenia on its back to carry around the tank. Previously, I glued the xenia to a rock to isolate it on an island. It hasn't been doing to very well and shrank lately. I'm wondering what I should do about it. I don't really want xenia everywhere as I have other corals in the 15 gallon tank. Thoughts?

Did the frag plug come loose, or did the urchin pull pieces of the xenia off the plug?

I took it off a frag plug a couple of months ago and glued it to a rock. But maybe I failed to glue it well enough.
