I came home to my urchin with a broken piece of shell and my argus wrasse was eating and tearing at it! The urchin seems to be alive, and seems to be eating the algae he's on. I'm protecting it with a two liter bottle right now lol

Will it be okay?

When they serve live urchins, they keep moving for a very long time despite the fact they've basically been bashed in and a spoon thrown in them.
