My new little pin cushion urchin keeps to the top of the tank. Like exposed to air kinda out of the tank top of the tank. Not overly alarming but..

I noticed it also flips on its back and sticks it’s mouth out of the water.. is this normal?

Looks like a tuxedo urchin? Mine usually doesn't do that. Perhaps water parameters are off? Does it eat algae if you give it? Mine also eats small bits of raw scallop.
