I have one in my tank. It eats a little coraline algae. The biggest problem with any urchin in a reef is they constantly knock stuff over. They are very strong and squeeze into places where something gives and send corals tumbling, although I guess they are no worse than large snails and hermit crabs. I have to pick up after them several times a week too.
