So our store got in what I believe is a false fire urchin(Astropyga radiata). It's small and I could use another algae eater in my Evo. Question is, would it harm my corals or my maxima clam? I've seen other similar species as coral eaters and what I find on the radiata is grazing and small meaty fare... What's the consensus on these urchins? Photo attached for reference.
