Some of my chaeto algae got into my main tank. It's currently on top of my urchin and has been for awhile. Should I remove it or leave it be?

It doesn't seem to bother it. I've seen it carry around rock and a snail. I just want to make sure it's not being bothered.

ur complaining about cheoto being taxi'd by your urchin?

Ive had 200 dollar newly fragged Holy Grail Euphila litterally bulldozed out of its freshly mounted spot only to find it on the other side of the tank because my urchin decided it wanted a new hat.

Welcome to urchins... meaning.. even if u pull them off, they will find it again and again and again, or something new to taxi around the tank.

I'm not complaining. I was just asking.
