Pencil urchin… I have one that keeps getting harassed by my cleaner crabs, it appears that the crabs are just attempting to clean it, but it is making the urchin try to either grab them or get away from them… I normally pick them off and just move them away but what should I do?

I would let them interact naturally unless it becomes a problem. If it’s a big problem I would remove one or the other from the tank.
