Okay, update.
Got another pincushion urchin. I was told to add a tablespoon of my tank water to the bag every 5 min til the bag was 3/4 full. I did that. This is what my urchin looks like. I really don’t want this one to die… can anyone give me any tips?
Last pic of it was when I first got him last night, he’s in the bag.
Did a 5 gallon water change today. I’ll update my water parameters after the tank water circulates a bit more.
Can someone help me or help me create a day by day schedule to help my tank im dosing neophos and prime but my reading are
Salinity 1.024
Alkalinity 15.3
PH 7.4
Phosphate 0
Nitrate 50-100
Nitrite 0.1
Ammonia 0.25
It’s only a 52L tank. I have a frogspawn(closed few days) everything else is fine 2 clownfish urchin torch and mushroom
First sea urchin! Any advice is much appreciated on how to keep them happy!
I'm noticing this bumble bee shrimp is always with this sea urchin. Is that a normal symbiotic behavior?

I’m so upset.. I bought a Duncan $12.99 and a $21.99 pin urchin and they both passed on today.. I bout them 2 days ago.. I won’t be going back to petco cuz I bought a sand sifting star 3 days ago and it’s happy going around the tank and everything. But I got my star from a different store.
I was so excited to have a Duncan as they are one of my favorite corals as well as an urchin… I know I shouldn’t give up, but i believe my water parameters are all normal. And everything else seems to be thriving..
