Hey, so I just came across this page. the answer to your situation about the egg exploding is a simple one. If you try to wrench/mine/break the siphon while the egg is still on it, the siphon is made to explode and also destroy the egg. The safe way to keep both is to remove the egg from the siphon first, and then remove the siphon.
I hope this helps anyone who comes across this page! Like it if you find it useful
The post is over a year and a half since the last post before yours. They either found their answers long ago or moved on. Thanks for being helpful, but please mind the post dates in the future.
OP has probably figured this out by now and there's plenty of info on this out there now. Please check to see if a thread is several years old before reviving it.
