Zoa keeps getting knocked down by hermit crabs

My hermit crabs keep knocking down my zoa plug. How can I stop it? It is becoming unhappy and is closed most of the time now

Glue it in place.

Glue it in place.

It is on a frag plug that has a stem. Do I cut the stem off first?

You can, or find a hole in the rocks big enough to stick it in.

Sadly, there isn't unless I put it to the top. So I will try to cut it later and gently. There is a tiny feather duster on it, that I don't want to accidentally kill

Get rid of your hermits. I removed all of mine for climbing up my branching monti and breaking off branches. Not one or two, up to a dozen. I would remove them and the next day they would be back with some of their friends. I got fed up so as I removed them they went back to my LFS. Just snails for me now.

Thinking of asking my neighbor if she wants them as a CUC. I bought 3 Astraea snails yesterday and they have cleaned more algae than my hermits have
