He, or she is releasing eggs or sperm. As Vette said, they do that when they are stressed. They are very sensitive as to water conditions and if it "fell" off a rock, he isn't doing too well because they can hang on to rocks even in the surf zone on a violent beach.
I once had 24 of them do that at the same time. I used to have an urchin collection business.
