Should I buy a Tuxedo Urchin?

[Rammess]

I have a fair bit of Brownish colored algae in my tank on my sand and green algae on my rocks. It’s a new tank cycled for about 2 months, but livestock only added 3 weeks ago.

15 gallon nano with SPS.
a few snails and hermits
cleaner shrimp
clown and 6 line

I am wondering if I should add a small Blenny or something and/or a tuxedo urchin to help eat up some algae.

I also plan on getting probably another 6-7 snails.

I say , "yes, after your corals are attached by more than superglue."

Honestly, I feel like your tank might be a bit small for an urchin.

Your tank is still very new and with time, algae will go away, and an urchin will starve to death

I think you may be right. I’ll start with a couple more snails and see where that takes me.

yes, just be aware of its coral grabbing abilities, mine took my utter chaos zoas for a walk

might be OK with a pincushion but as mentioned, best have your corals or whatever cemented in!
