I just got this guy, not even two days old in my tank.. my urchin lost its color and is barely moving. It’s losing its spines too.
I had it slowly acclimated.
All my inverts are doing fine in my tank as well.
Im at a loss here.

How was it acclimated and for how long?
Is it losing spines?
They do stress easily

spine bit is stress and 1/2 hour not near enough especially if salinity wasn’t equalized
