Just have some vinegar on hand and you are good to go.

I had a similar urchin. I moved him using 2 plastic forks. I slid one fork under him and one fork on top. Never got stuck. The bottom fork can be used to pry him off.

Well, that doesn't sound like it's as fun... for us

So it really wasn't that bad....but......

Here's how my day has gone thus far...my tank is at work, for those who don't know.
I walk in to the office and see him in the same place as yesterday and the day before...just relaxing. Then I turn around literally 5 minutes later to this

And if I had a fork handy, I would have stabbed it and my new favia frag in one fluid motion!

Oh snap!!!

In case you can't tell, that's my new favia frag in its mouth! Used to look like this.

now it's like this....

 

[Bradley Crocker]

I'm proud of myself for not getting all angry and throwing the thing, literally, out my window! I ended up picking it up gently, bare handed, one spine between thumb and finger and dropped him in my specimen container.

 

[Bradley Crocker]

Now I want to throw it on the ground and stomp on it! Oh...wait...never mind.

It's off to the lfs I go to donate a NOT reef safe urchin.

 

[Bradley Crocker]

Oh snap!!!

I said the same thing, only slightly more colorful!

 

[Bradley Crocker]

OK. He's off to a better home...thanks for all the help and input. I'll be nursing my poor favia for the next little while...talk about unexpected!

It amazes me how much Martin Moe looks like Finbar Furey.

My two hobbies collided for a very brief moment there.
