It would probably knock a bunch of stuff over in your tank. I don't house urchins so I can't give any personal experience here. Just if you do get one please be careful of the poison in their spines. A fellow reefer got blood poisoning from one.

ok thanks for the advice i think i might just pass on the urchins. blood poisoning dosen't sound very good

Yeah I wouldn't suggest it. They will eat your coralline algae too.
