Hey so my pincushion was doing fantastic and then I started doing more water changes and I think the swing in salinity and stirring the sand bed yesterday caused the water quality to drop and now the urchin has dropped I'd say most of its spines. It's just clung to the sump wall right now still looks somewhat active.
I made a post prior to this about it losing some spines. Now I know what yall were saying when you said "too many spines to count is bad" cause it's a clean PILE of em. I'll assume this urchin is not long for this tank.
Question is should I remove it now and freezer bag it or should I let it rock till it dies?
Ty all for your help in advance. A little bummed but I know these things happen. I'm just looking for the most "humane" thing to do at this point.
