I agree with Cindy, when I had the problem, I removed it by hand and cut the lights back to 4 hours and then bumped it up an hour every week. I also added more mexican turbos.
The urchin wouldn't be too "sharp" of an idea. They usually strip most of the hard earned coraline off of the LR and glass.

P.S. Congrats on the new kid, and good luck.
