    Default Reef safe Urchins besides Tuxedos

    Are there any Urchins you guys use besides the tuxedos to clean up algae that are very reef safe? I don't care if they knock stuff over or eat coralline, just don't want them to mess with my zoas, softies and anemones.

    Pencil Urchins. I had one for a while but it munched to much on my coralline.
