Fluffy my pincushion urchin picked up one of my corals and took it with him!

I'm guessing he puts stuff on his back for some kind of camoflage?
 
I had a small maxima clam that mine picked up and dropped behind the rockwork and I couldn't find it until it was an empty shell. Many many frags were moved. So the urchin was moved to the sump.
 
Mine used to snatch snails as well. They'd be on thier backs with thier foot flying around trying to grab something. Here's a pic of mine holding a snail, who grabbed a monti cap frag!

If you consider what portion of their anatomy they're sticking stuff to, I think it amounts to a CYA maneuver.
