Default 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?

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)

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