If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
Is it just one here and there? Or alot. They do break them off from time to time moving around the rockwork.
 
this usually means the urchin is not going to make it. The most common reason is poor water quality or improper acclimation. You might want to do some water testing.
 
Its a tough thing to recover from. May want to try some water changes to boost water quality. its really all you can do.
My Tuxedo just lost his spines and died after 2 years.
