MIA Urchins?

While surfing the web just now I came across an urchin that caused me to wonder to myself when was time I'd actually seen one of them. That 'wondering' then connected me to a long lost synapse and it hit me that I haven't seen a different urchin for maybe 20 something years. Has anyone seen a Slate Pencil Urchin for sale lately?

Here's what it looks like:

Not sure I want another one, maybe I'm just being nostalgic...

Bob,
You made me think that I haven't seen one of my urchins in months, if not a year. I found a perfectly round calcified ball, with a hole in the bottom, behind the main rockwork, guessing its his exoskeleton. Had 3, two are doing fine, probably got outcompeted for food.
