Mystery wrasse and urchin question

[ingersoll]

Im wondering if they are both reef safe?

I have 2 mystery wrasse in a 125 and a tuxedo urchin. No problems.

Mystery wrassses can be hit or miss... They should be ok with corals but have been known to eat small snails and hermits...

I do not consider urchins to be reef safe. The short spined ones will move your frags around and drop them in hard to reach places, and my long spined urchin mows down anything in its path. It doesn't intentionally seek out corals, but if there is any coralline on the stem or rock, the whole thing gets chewed. They are, however, fascinating creatures to watch, which is why I keep them.
