Bump on tuxedo urchin?

[JenniferMcK]

Can anyone tell me what this is on the urchin I ordered? It was smaller when I recieved it but has gotten larger within the last 5 days I've had him. I have a 14 day guarantee from the website I ordered from so I am wanting to know if this little guy is gonna make it or if I should let the company know so I can get a credit for him. Been feeding him extra seaweed to make sure he's full. Anything else I can do to help the little guy?

Um do you have a qt tank isolation may be ideal until someone knows what that is.

It's actually in a coral qt at the moment.

You're saying the bump has gotten larger? Have you tried to see if you can dislodge it? Tuxedo urchins often stick things to themselves. It could be some algae or something.

No it isnt anything stuck to it. It's part of the urchin
