Urchin looks lively but dropping a few spines

It should be fine! Just hope on full recovery.

I didn't know they could get infections with spine loss.

Yeah I knew that was what usually killed them on minor loss that's why I started the thread to begin with.

So far so good he's even more active than yesterday. No more spines than there were last night as far as I could see.

Wonderful! I love my tuxedo urchin. I'd actually throw a fit if he passed.

Also, his bag he was shipped in had spines as well. He shed for a week. But didn't seem to bother him.

I think there was one or two in the bag and to be honest I think my flow pulled off some loose ones. Happy as a... Err... Clam(?) now haha.

They are very fun to watch. When mine needs extra food, he'll come to the front on the glass where I drop the fishes food. Pretty funny.

I'd like to add I purchased a Halloween sea urchin 2 weeks ago and today I noticed just a single spine that fell out.. is it normal for this to happen from time to time?

Nothing otherwise has changed in the tank since acclimation..
