My urchin is fine in my tank. He pretty much sticks only to coralline algae. I used to have a choc. star and he demolished a colony of polyps as soon as he found them, which took only a couple of days. IMO, i'd lose the starfish and keep the urchin.

You should take the choc chip out he will eat the corals.
