SOS Is my Tuxedo Urchin okay??

[crazy4clowns]

I have had my tuxedo Scabbers for some time now I’d say a few weeks and everything in the beginning was great! Moved around fast eating a lot. I noticed he has been slowing down k could be crazy but I feel his arms are not stretched out as much a little limp. I could be over thinking this but then I realized his mouth looked weird and his anus now looks like this. Am I being a paranoid mom or is this actually something I should be concerned about ?

I have two tuxedos and I've never seen their buttholes do that. Otherwise he looks pretty normal.

He is my first Tuxedo I just feel like he is acting weird, slow movements. I haven't had to feed him due to my algae infestation so I am wondering if he is hungry? He also doesn't have many tube feet I feel around his mouth

If he starts losing his spines, it is probably too late. They don't do well with big swings in water parameters like salinity, and I understand nitrates too. Otherwise looks normal.

One thing I just realized is he's not carrying anything which is usually a sign of unhappiness. Has he ever been carrying stuff around? Mine are literally covered in shells and bubble algae, frag plugs, anything they lay their little tube feet on.
