Do: make sure you find a nice shelter and roll into a ball before metamorphosing.
Don’t: try and change into a sea star (they are vain and have no manners when they eat).
Do: find a nice tight fitting cave or crevice
Don’t: find a spacious cave that are good for parties with large openings (big enough for fish to get into).
Do: wedge your spines into the sides of the cave and stay there during the day.
Don’t: do spinestands and roll around on sandy slopes (they could be pits made by triggerfish).
Do: eat a variety of sponges and sea moss with as many small creatures on them as you can catch.
Don’t: eat too much of the one sponge (it will become toxic).
Do: wait until you can smell the spawn of other creatures before releasing your eggs.
Don’t: release your eggs early.
Do: cover yourself with algae and stay under ledges as much as possible.
Don’t: take all your algae off and go out into the air during low tide (especially if you live near China or Japan).
