You should be able to have two. I had two in a 29 gal for several years. I would supplement what they ate from the rocks and glass with nori. I tear off a pice and put it in tongs near their under side and they would grab it. Right now I have a pencil and a pincushion in the 29gal and two tuxedo and a Halloween in a 65g. I love urchins and will probably end up with a couple more

I just went to my LFS and they had a massive pincushion a white one would that work in my tank?

Regardless of how many, make sure your corals are glued down well or they'll be "on the move". Meet Roomba our tuxedo

Cool I don’t really know anything about brittle stars and they hard to keep and do they die easily?
Not hard to keep at all over my history....they will leave corals alone in my experience, eat detritus under rocks in sandbed you want rid of. When I feed mine makes an appearance briefly to take any scraps. It's not as sensitive as a true starfish is...

Lol, thats wild....I have seen all kinds of stuff carried around by my two but never the corals themselves. 'You don't belong here, I'm gonna take you for a ride!' :D
