NonSequitur Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I couldn't figure it out. My two gorgeous xenia colonies were looking good.. I was about ready to frag one of them, had it attached to two separate rocks and I had moved them apart, when one of the pieces ended up randomly on the other end of the tank. I had no idea how it got there, but ok, I'll attach it to a rock over there, see if I could get it to grow up the side glass of the tank. This morning I woke up and it was moved to the other end of the tank. Just sitting there on the sandbed. This evening when I got home my tuxedo urchin was right in the middle of the colony, pulling another piece off. He definitely fragged it, though I'm not sure if it was in the reefkeeper sense of the word or the first person shooter sense of the word. He then proceeded to haul his prize up onto one of the powerheads. Anyway, here is is, caught red handed. The xenia is still happily pulsing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I gotta say Jeremy...that looks adorable!! If in doubt...don't flush...send him to Mama!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonSequitur Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 Haha.. Nah, I'm not going to flush him.. He's actually one of my favorites. It's a running joke around my house "what's the urchin carrying today?" So far since I got him he's picked up zoa polyps, snails, hermit crabs, food of various sorts, cyanobacteria, those worms that live in tubes in the sand, macroalgae, dead SPS skeletons, rabbitfish poop... and now xenia!

+mcallahan Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 If he gets another stalk on the other side, he will look like pippy longstalking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NonSequitur Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share Posted December 19, 2009 Meanwhile, the purple pincushion urchin I got from Christian is making himself at home as well, pretending to be a nori clip: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
