Silly Urchin

SIlly Urchin. I can still see you under that Camoflage. Snails and other shells and junk wont hide those bright colors!!!

Do you rescue the snails - or do they eventually just fall off?

 

[Pickupman66]

I need to rescue them. But don't feel like getting wet tonight.

Thanks bart. yea, it is growing pretty good. this shot was taken with just the T-5's so it looks a bit more purple.

do the urchins somehow put the debris on themselves or it just sticks on them from rubbing against it?

 

[Pickupman66]

this one has a bunch of soft tentacles that tend to grab things as they pass by. Ihave read they do this to Camoflage themselves.

I'm going to try that at work. I should be able to put a computer, monitor, phone, and stapler on my back... see if I can blend in...

 

[CloudIX]

tried that already, boss still found me. gave me even more paper to stick on my back. said the next one is gonna be pink. lol

 

[NeveSSL]

That's a bummer, man.

 

[Pickupman66]

Lmao......

Funny up in Ohio the Urchin's have resorted to taking the tank apart to hide them selves.

now thats funny!

 

[NeedBiggerTank]

LOL - how do you think that is staying on there?

 

[SeaninMesa]

HA! We have named ours "The Dump", every day it is covered in a new layer of debris. Always interesting to see what ends up on the urchin.

 

[Pickupman66]

he has some really soft tentacles with suction cups.

I reglued that frag and tonight he broke it loose again and it was on top like I had placed it there. I pulled it off and tossed the urchin to the other side.

Crafty little bugger... LOL
