Urchin losing his spines...

I just got a pincushion urchin to help control the hair algae problem I've been having. I put him in yesterday and today he is dropping a lot of his spines. I have done a water change even though the tests showed nothing out of line.

 

Is it normal for an urchin to drop some spines when moved to a different tank?

 

BTW - I was planning on taking him back to the LFS or giving him to a friend when my hair algae is eradicated.

I think if they loose a few, then its not too bad, but if they loose too many then usually its bad news.

 

Sorry, theres not much I can offer.

I hope it pulls through. Perhaps the others can come up with something more helpful. ???
