Poll: Worst "Flipper" (aka coral disrupter)

[ArowanaLover1902]

Just trying to get a general feel on what the worst flipper is; for me its my turbo snail. I realize that its kinda general and not every snail/crab/etc is the same, just trying to get a general idea.
P.S. - By flipper I mean knocking down corals and etc

Really, my worst flipper would honestly be my Pistol Shrimp, not even the fact he might steal some frags to block up a hole, but the fact that he will just flip over frags that aren't glued... I finally had to buy a frag rack.

I would definitely say my short spined urchin. almost every other day he is carrying around a frag or a one of my florida rics;Rage. My frag rack is ugly tho or I would use it more often.

Turbos... mini bulldozers. Only thing worse are some urchins. I don't have (or want) either in my tank.

My pincushion urchin - hands down. If it isn't glued down, he'll find it, put it on his back for a while, and somehow manage to drop if off behind all the rockwork where you can't reach. The speed at which he does this is directly proportional to the price you paid for the frag.

On the plus side, he eats a fair amount of algae.

My african hermit crabs. Knocking over frags daily...cool looking dudes, but flippers for sure.

 

[Bdrake]

Urchins. Not even a close contest. Turbos disturb and urchins destroy lol

 

[XNavyDiver]

The WORST Flipper of all; Frodo Baggins and Crocodile Dundee in a real stinker!

 

[GoldeneyeRet]

The reefkeeper is the worst offender in my tank.

I am too clumsy (and I have glue).

 

[xCry0x]

Urchins by a mile then turbo snails. Turbo snails knock things over. Urchins pick them up and drop them behind your rock work.

Hermit crabs suck.

 

[rkpetersen]

My Nassarius snails get under things and knock them over. Also Fighting Conchs. Also Pistol Shrimps. Also a Melanurus Wrasse that aggressively attacks small critters in the sand. If it's not glued down or in a rack, I've likely found it knocked over at least once.

 

[Kremis]

urchins

[Waters]

Not a choice, but I vote either long spined or tuxedo urchins.

 

[UM Aquarium Club]

Can I write in my vote for urchin? If its not bolted down they'll pick it up!

 

[nbagnardi]

This guy is notorious.

 

[Jisko]

chonch -.-

I have a blue leg hermit in a shell that’s too large. He likes to grab my only zoa frag and swing from it. I think he sings George of the jungle as he does it. He’s managed to pull it down a couple times and daily he spins it. It’s still in the plug, until I learn how to remove it and glue it in place.

Urchins are slow motion bull dozers - won't keep them in my reef tanks anymore. Otherwise, my hippo tang is a one fish fragging machine.
