Rock Thief! My Living Bulldozer

[AKL1950]

Looked over at the tank and saw one of my Zoa frags (with rock they are on) moving slowly along the front of the tank. Sure enough, my little 2” bull dozer urchin was dragging them to a new location. The rock is three times bigger than the urchin. Second time I’ve had to detach it from a big rock he was dragging around. I’m thinking it’s time to trade him in for a smaller model. He gets any bigger and who knows what he’ll start dragging around the tank.

At least he's happy!

For sure. I get really stressed when he goes up top where all the Acro frags are.

Yesterday, I witnessed a battle between my smallest urchin and one of my biggest snails. Should have gotten pictures. The urchin was trying to pluck the snail off of the glass to carry it around. They're pretty close to the same size, and the battle seemed to last forever. It seemed the urchin would win, but the next time I checked, the snail was cruising along wearing the urchin.

I call them mobile frag racks!

Urchins... Gotta love 'em!

My Female Bellus angelfish spends a lot of time hovering over the urchin looking at it. Not sure, but seems like she’s trying to figure out how to attack and make a meal out of it. Those spines are pretty thick, so I think it’s safe. She’ll just have to be content with chasing Chromis around the tank.

Sir, you're not gonna be able to hide under that rock. Sir, that's too big to lift. Sir this is a comedy skit at this point.
