New things, bit of advice please!

Ok, so I have purchased a sulpher goby. He is yellow with little blue specs on his face.
I also got a long spined urchin. It is black with neon blue stripes on his body.

Now then, the goby has hidden since I have put him in, and the urchin has found himself a little crator that he is staying in. I guess they are just getting used to the tank.

But how do I feed the urchin? Does he take care of himself? I have been told to put food in his path so he just crawls over it and eats it. Does this sound correct?

Cheers, any other urchin advice would be great!

The urchin will graze along the rock and glass. Direct feeding is not needed.
