Ive had my long spine urchin for about 2 years. Over the last 2 days it started getting very slow and not moving to much. Then i check it out today, and see all of these white round balls that look like white BBs on its top.... looks like they are coming out of it, but havnt seen any release yet. I wouldnt be surprised if its dying based on how its been acting iver the last 2 days. I took a picture with my phone but its such poor quality. Hopefully you can see what is going on. Anyone know?

It looks like it's losing all of the spines. It is not happy if that's the case.

Are all of your parameters in check?
