Are the spines sticking out like a pincushion, or laying down? If laying down, it is likely dead. I use the "nose test" on urchins after a day or two - take it to the surface and smell it, if it stinks, then its dead.Received a purple pincushion today shipped Wednesday of last week was delayed was supposed to be here Thursday of last week arrived toady hasn't moved yet still has all its spine, any thoughts?

Jay, the spines were all down and the water and bag it was shipped in was pretty nasty, thick and milky kinda
If the spines aren’t moving at all and/or any are falling off, I think it is probably dead. You can take it out and set in on a surface and watch for movement though.Sorry about that, the spines were all down and hadn't moved all day, the water in the shipping bag was pretty cold, also kinda think and milky.
