Safe to add Urchin?

[kimmi.kim]

Hi, I was thinking of adding a 'tuxedo urchin' in my tank to eat all of my algae. Here is a list of livestock that I have. Is it safe to add an urchin?

- 2 occlearius clownfish
- 2 GBTA (it split, but now one keeps wandering around in the tank...)
- sand - sifting starfish
- sps corals : mushrooms, fiji leather, zoas, bubble coral, branching hammer coral

Thanks in advance!

yes, globe urchins are one of the best for a reef. i have two for about 5years. actually one died and was replaced ~18 months ago.
