I'd find out the brand and where he got it the spines falling t off urchin is a Good sign of contamination. If you can find the name it would help narrow down the cause.

weird thing is, we have 2 urchins, and the other has all of it's spines... it just seems to be the 1..

Yeah same as Denny. Silicone is the only variable. Unless you had rock and sand in sump which was disturbed or dried out

[kkgmonkey]

ok, so if it was the silicone, is there anything we can do now to save our tank?

Yes unhook it dry it out cut out the silicone and replace it.sometime one animal takes things harder than another same as your fish.

I'd change out most if the water and run carbon while testing for ammonia.

Is there anything that can be done to save the corals? The hammers and frog spawn are showing the white "skeleton" the grass is comin out a bit more ... Really worrie about my sun coral. It hasn't popped out at all since the problems.

Run carbon or give the corals to someone to babysit, if it were me I'd unhook my sump immediately and treat the display as sumpless with an airstone. Large water change if the source IA the sump then water change while its running wont help.
