    I don't think he is in immediate danger, but I was hoping to get some advice. Hes my second urchin, first one died due to live rock avalanche. But anyway its a relatively shallow hole, but he has gone all the way to the bottom and I cannot move him. I don't want him to get stuck and die. But I've read that they like holes. So should I worry? Is he in his grave? Should I move him? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I wouldn't worry that is how it protects itself.
