My new frag tray
 

My urchin decided to start thinking bigger. He dumped the frag he usually wears for a tray.

That is a classic shot. Does he know how to mix epoxy too?

LOL thats hilarious :lol:

AWSOME.

now i have to ask... do they intentinally pick things up or does it just stick while they are wondering around the tank? i have never had an urchin or read about them so i have no idea. do they do it a some sort of camo?

I believe it is some kind a camo or hat..... It almost always is holding something. It really likes the more expensive frags .

Tuxedo urchins pick up stuff to camouflage themselves. They don't always make the right choices on their materials. I have had mine retrieve frags that have fallen out of reach, and also steal frags. He wore a mushroom around like a hat for about a month. thats how he got the name elmer(as in the glue)

ha ha now I want one! lol!:mrgreen::mrgreen::lol:

That's priceless! If only you could talk him into staying with the rack in proper position and close to the light :lol:

Figured I'd add to your thread.......

Urchins rock, think i'll get another!

once I get my bigger tank I will get one for sure!

I have a hatpin urchin I would gladly give to anyone who wants it. It is maybe 16" diameter and would be difficult to handle.

urchins are funny :lol:

hahahaha, i love the egg tray!, it looks soo funny cause its huge lol..

i think im going to get one :biggrin:

Urchins are funny. I really enjoy mine, never know what he is gonna decide to do.

I would like to see a pic. of a urchin that big !
BTW... the urchin/eggcrate pic is too funny :biggrin:

That's soooo funny. Urchins always make me laugh. My tuxedo urchin, wore a scarlet hermit for about 3 days as a hat.... the hermit just sat there watching the world with his yellow eyes. Not as funny as the rack part though.

Urchins are pretty cool. Heres my zoa-maniac.

Mine often is wearing Zoas and Palies but usually a colony on a frag plug. I had some nice green clavularia Sp that dissapered in my tank and it found it a month later and was parading it around like it was wearing the emporers new clothes. I let it keep them until it got borred of them and never seen them again. I kinda have a love hate relationship with mine. It all depends what it has on its back.:lol:

Chris

Say Chris can you make me one of those frag trays?

Tom R

I could but they seem to loose more then they keep.

I (have) HAD an urchin :( havn't seen him since I acclimated him. Been about a month now :( makes me sad....
