Pincushion Urchins
Are they reef-safe? Will they eat corals/tubeworms or otherwise be destructive? I think they're cool but often times the cool looking invert/fish isn't reef-safe

Here is my pencil urchin, which is in a REEF tank. Just make sure your rocks are solid and you'll be fine. Its not a pincushion but its super easy to take care of
