Hi all,

I got a tuxedo urchin today. So exciting..... first thing it does is climb onto a Scarlett Hermit and goes for a ride.... Now the hermit got it stuck in some Palys.

Should I go and help the urchin get out? It looks like it's stuck in a tree as the spines are suspending it from the substrate. So I don't know how it'll get out of there.

Should I wait till morning and see if it'll work it's way out?

This guy is trouble, I can tell :)

If you have a picture to compliment the topic. Personally, I’d just help him out rq then you have no worries. If he didn’t need help well no harm done :)

Sorry, it's night now, so I only have my blues on. It's hard to tell but the base is just barely off the substrate. But those spines look deep in the palms
