Urchin Hitch Hicker - Reef Safe?

[DallasNYC]

Other than eating coraline and knocking stuff around, Are all urchins considered reef safe?


I just found this guy in my tank. (about a 1/2" long)

The best I can figure is that he is a 'rock boring urchin' based on the picture here..

I haven't put anything new in my tank for 4 months, and haven't noticed any damage to anything, so guessing he is safe?

from where I am standing, yes.

Dallas, funny - I found the every same one on my rock and my rock was baked for 6 months - not sure how he got in there, but there he is

Thanks for the replies,

I am inclined to let him stay since I haven't seen any damage.
I just don't know if I will see him again, since he has done such a great job of hiding out already.

Labeled rock anemone. Reef safe but a pain in the neck. they can really move around big rocks. Mine was about 1 1/2" for the body and was kncking around rocks that were 10" and bigger.

Reef safe as in won;t eat anything yes,
Reef safe as in won't knock a rock ontop of the coral on your sandbed no.

My longspine developed a taste for expensive acropora frags. Caught him eating a Pink Lemonade frag like a carrot.
