Black Spiny Urchin Squirts!

So far, everything in our tank has done stuff that I can find little to no info on. We had scooter blennies that mated- 8 babies are still alive (not supposed to mate in captivity). One day every fish in the tank died (except blennie babies)- water was tested and came back fine. We have this unidentifiable white hairy crab (not a teddy bear) that is not aggressive, and now our urchin (which is now the size of a soft ball!) started squirting this white fluid out of its body- around the anus in 4 places- and this went on for about 20 minutes. Is it laying eggs? Is this stuff poisonous to his room mates? Please help! Oh, and any info about the elusive hairy crab- no pics, tried for over a year- would be appreciated. The crab came in Fiji LR, and waits to be hand fed, will not scavenge- NEVER comes out all the way. Any info would be GREAT! Thanks!
