My black spiny urchin I got 5 days ago from a LFS was collapsed when I got home today. He was so active, always moving around from the sand to the liverocks, which are covered with diatom algae, corraline algae, and macro algaes. According to the LFS, and from what I read, that should have been his ideal foods. I was going to put a vegetarian sinking algae pellet near him today to see if he'd eat that - but never got the chance. I haven't measured since Monday, but my ammonia, pH, temperature, and nitrites were perfect. What did I do wrong?
My girlfriend and I are both very depressed about this, we loved our little Hades. He was so cute wiggling his spikes!
