I feel your pain, I really do. Urchins can pick up and haul off some amazing things. I use a glue "sandwich" to combat mine. You need superglue and reef epoxy. Mix up a ball of epoxy, put some superglue on the bottom of the frag/coral, mash the epoxy onto the glue, then make a finger impression in the bottom of the epoxy and put more superglue there. Place the coral where you want it, mash down and give a 1/4 twist. Hold until the glue sets. It's pretty rare for even my big halloween urchin to manage to pry corals off when mounted with the glue sandwich.

Now if I could just figure out how to stop them from stealing my algae clips and throwing them behind the rocks............
