My urchin decided to take my zoas for a ride
My tuxedo urchin just ripped my newish zoa frag off of its glue and is now moving through the tank attached to the zoas. How can I safely remove the zoas without harming either creature? Can I just pull them off? Ice? Or?

I took the zoas off but then it fell from my fingers into who knows where. I'll try to look again in the morning when the zoas are open and easier to spot. I dropped the urchin in the same area, so hopefully he'll just pick it back up for me. Would being in the sand, possibly upside down, for a night or so hurt zoas?

Well, I still can't find the zoas. Maybe they got buried by my goby? I tried sifting through the sand to try to find them but all I did was stir up sand and irritate everything in there... Does anyone have any ideas? Are my zoas probably dead already?

Nevermind. I found it. Hopefully they'll be okay...
