    I will be working on starting a new 55g reef over the next few months and was thinking it would be cool to have an urchin. I want a black Longspine Urchin.

    I want a few fish and corals too. The fish are listed in my sig.

    What do you think about having an urchin?

    Aside from this, is there anything negative to say about them?

    That shouldn't be too bad as long as tank is matured and/or buy it as a juvenile.
