How to remove a rock-boring urchin from its burrow/hole?

Hey Guys,

I have what I think is a rock boring urchin that came as a hitchhiker on a piece of liverock that is currently in my sump. I want to remove the piece of rock as it’s home to some unwanted hitchhikers I can’t get rid of.

I don’t necessarily want to get rid of the urchin. Does anyone have any idea on how to remove the urchin from its hole/burrow without harming it?

Thanks,
Ashe

I would think it comes out of its hole during the night to go grazing.
