So I have this chiton that’s vehemently scared to get out of his shell. I’ve had him for three weeks.... I’ve never had a chiton stay on for this long.

He’s come close, as in halfway up the rocks and then went back to the shell.

Anyone have any tricks to get him off? Kind of worried.

Chitons consume just about everything, including coralline, and keep the rocks pristine. Regardless, this one refuses to come off the shell onto the rock. I have tried propping it flush to the rock in various spots, no cigar.

Tried that, makes him go deep into the concave portion of the shell. I’ve started to pack rocks in the concave portion to prevent him from going back.

Ha! The secret is easy. Start a pandemic so there are few people at work, switch to overnight shifts so your managers are not around, then, lastly, have a bunch of crappy, stressful junk in your life so you don’t really give a hoot about leaving early. Easy.
