Thinking of going to the Dollar store and getting a ladle with holes and try to scoop it that way.
 
S’mores skewer stick? If you don’t want to lance it, use two like chop sticks?

Strange, I lost my urchin last week....and based on the coating on the glass, it sure didn’t starve to death

Picked up tongs and grabbed it easily. I did notice a little movement so left in front right corner if the tank. It actually climbed the glass one down onto an old drag plug.
So its still alive but barely. I put a 1 inch square piece if both on the sand and put it on top. May have to feed it like this for awhile.

Nice…didn’t zoom into the picture enough to notice the spines were intact.
Not many spine left on it. Did eat the nori last night and moving around the tank slowly.
Just trying to figure out how often to hand feed it.

You can wrap the nori on rock and let it eat naturally.
