Your clownfish will be fine; your hands will not. If you're going to get an urchin in a nano tank, stick with tuxedos. They're quite hardy and it's safe to pick them up with your bare hands.

I have a pencil urchin in a 15 cube, not too big. I'd go pencil or tuxedo. but it may need to be fed from time to time too.

I've had a tuxedo urchin die in my Evo 13.5 (from vibrant)...and the tank was fine.
