    Default Pencil Urchin Fading to White and losing spines

    Hello,
    I have a HUGE pencil urchin, it is fading to white and dropping spines. Does this mean he is rotting away? Still actively moves around and eats ALL the coraline algae. I am thinking of returning it to the wild since it is native to where I live... I paid a pretty penny for it 4 months ago. Any suggestions?

    Its irrelevant whether its native to your area,it was in your tank and who knows what it could carry back into that environment. Rehome it to a lfs you trust or qt it and wait out whatever is wrong with it.
