Hello R2R!
2 days ago I brought home this urchin from one of my LFS. They had many many urchin skeletons in tanks, and I saw a few half dead urchins being picked on by crabs, etc. I just couldn't bear the thought of leaving this guy there to die, so I brought him home. He has some injuries, especially near his mouth, but a few on his sides as well. They are dark brown almost scabbed looking areas with no spines. He is active, moving around, eating nori, etc. His feelers are out and look good.
Thoughts on any additional care I can provide for him short of good husbandry? I know these injuries may be too much, but I felt like he deserved a chance to be nursed back to health.
