Hi,
LOL...I thought you knew everything! I can't find that critter...I guess I just have to hope for the best. It didn't lose whole spikes but it did get some of the tips broken..you can pry out an urchin and not harm it.
I e-mailed SWF and told them they need to find a different way to ship those prickly guys. I only paid $12.99 for it, I would have paid a little extra for the critter so they could ship in it in a plastic sealed container. If I ever get another one, I will acclimate it in a glass container so it can’t dig in like that, what a shame.
