I am new to adding corals to my tank. I just put in a beautiful ZOA colony and my Urchin wont stay off it. Is this a concern? I have pushed it off 4 times in the last day. I was told it is reef safe. Thoughts?

They don’t usually eat zoas. Could just be trying to eat algae off of it, or maybe wants it as a hat if it’s a tuxedo urchin.

My tuxedo runs over my zoas all the time.. I wish he would eat them. Until you see zoa heads shredded or gone then I'd just assume it's grazing
