hey guys i just woke up to my tuxedo urchin battling this small pump i have he didn’t climb on it but he decided to travel in front of it and lost some spines around that area where he was. is this because of the flow or do i need to act quick and help him out? he’s been eating gracileria and seaweed sheets since i don’t have too much algae yet. ph 8.1 79degrees fahrenheit 1.023SG i’m quite worried and am hoping he survives. thank you
