Yeah..my hatpin urchin got me once also. I was trying to move him out of my way by gently pushing on him. Just as I was thinking that the spines weren't actually very sharp and that I could actually press pretty hard without getting....ZAP! The spine didn't break off but the feeling was as if I had been injected by something. It was painful for about 1 hour, but went away immediately after that.
