How to get Urchins out of the tank?
How can I get my Sea Urchin safely off the glass or rock in my tank? I want to move him to another tank.

What kind of urchin? I have a couple tuxedo urchins, when I have had to move them I cup my hand over them and gently tap them side to side until they release. You don't want to damage their feet.
