The "What's the damn thing doing today" thread

[Salted]

So as a bunch of you know I recently got a tuxedo urchin. While I was told they could end up moving things I wasn't concerned as most of my corals are glued down and I don't have anything high end. But... that doesn't mean it hasn't picked up some amusing things. As previously mentioned, I thought I somehow had a new blood shrimp after it picked up its' molted shell. Maybe it was going undercover trying to infiltrate the Bloods gang. Today it was carrying a snail. Poor thing was on its' side. Had the snail been upright and centered I might have wet myself laughing. Anyway, others had posted interest in getting a tux urchin. Get one. This will be our thread to post what they've picked up and "what's the damn thing doing today" . And today I named mine "U-Haul".

I’ll get one in the next week or so and see if I can add to this.

Lol at your urchin. I haven’t had one yet, but they seem super cool.

I was over at Sea Level earlier today and he has a whole bunch of them in stock right now. This thread inspired me to buy a couple of them to throw in my frag tanks. If mine do anything cool, I'll post some pics.

 

[MadReefer]

Picked one up today as well.
Will have to buy it wardrobe now.

Mine has not decorated itself yet. It did however push my powerhead down during the night and blew sand front glass which covered a few mushroom frags. had to dig them out fix sand and powerhead.

U-haul is currently wearing a stylish ensemble of coroline flakes.

U haul picked up another shrimp molt.

Maybe not so funny/ interesting but my blennies won't let any snails get too close to their hole/cubby- grab them, carry them across the tanks and spit them out

This guy is the king of the reef with all those crowns in its head.

I couldn't get a good pic yesterday but the urchin grabbed a piece of GSP; looked pretty funny. To bad was in the back so getting a pic was difficult.

That’s how corals like gsp spread all over your tank.

Amado, I had plenty more but not doing very well in my tank. My wife wouldn't mind though she likes GSP.
