Is this normal??

I have a long spine sea urchin in my 30 gallon tank. I have noticed that either it been growing new white spines or some spines are turning white? Is this normal?

What are your water parameters? Are any of the spines coming off? or just turning white at this point

Ok so i tested my water yesterday and no, no spines have fallen out.

SG- 1.025
AMMO- 0.25
PH- 8.0
NITRITE- 0
NITRATE- 80
CAL- 400
KH- 10dKH
PHOSPHATE- 0

I AM GOING TO DO A WATSR CHANGE RIGHT NOW TO BRING DOWN THAT AMMO AND NITATE

Is this normal??

WHAT DO YOU MOST OFTEN NOTICE IN YOUR REEF AFTER LIGHTS OUT?

Fish settling into their sleeping spots

Corals extending feeding tentacles

Pods and other tiny life on the glass or rock

Worms, brittle stars, or other cleanup crew

Crabs or shrimp out and about

Bioluminescence (actual light produced by organisms)

The tank looks pretty much the same to me

I rarely look after lights out
