overkill?

So in my 38 gallon tank I have 45 lbs of sand. 50 lbs of rock. A coral beauty. A lawnmower blenny a turbo an emerald crab 7 hermits and a brittle star. my question is I would like to also add an urchin. Do you think that's to much? I know if there is not enough algae I'll have to supplement their food. and I'm also considering maybe 2 clowns or maybe just one smaller fish not sure yet.

A very small tuxedo urchin would be ok. But you ARE going to have to feed sufficient for that lawnmower blenny, and if he's not eating pellet food, (Formula One) he may not survive.

Its a hit or miss whether they will eat the algae sheets
