Urchin question

[clevan]

I have a 35 gallon tank with anenome, mushroom coral, clown, wrasse, pigmy angel and chromis. Looking to get anurchin for some algae control...plus i think ther're cool. This isn't a problem is it and any rec. on what type?
Thanks

They knock stuff over all the time and dont eat as much algae as you would think.....

For a smaller tank like that a Tuxedo Urchin would probably be your best bet. Long-Spined Urchins are generally regarded as better algae eaters but they get very large...

be prepared to have stuff knocked over and/or carried off repeatedly.

Don't get a pencil/slate urchin, they are more omnivores than herbivores.
