Where did you get the rock? Could be short spine or rock boreing if it's Caribbean
It was from a previous tank setup.Where did you get the rock? Could be short spine or rock boreing if it's Caribbean
When you say aren't super reef safe, what do you mean by that?Most urchins aren't super reef safe. I can tell you it shouldn't be a problem with the tuxedo, as long as they have enough food together.
I dont believe the tank previously had coralIt depends on the urchin. Some will directly eat coral, and a lot will just bump into coral and accidentally chew on it a bit. Tuxedos are the least likely to bother anything.
This urchin looks to be a rock-boring urchin of some species, since it's got that perfect cavity it sits in. As far as I know, they tend to not eat coral intentionally, but may run into it and scrape at the edges sometimes while trying to eat algae.
Did the previous tank have coral? If so, whether that coral got eaten should tell you if this is reef-safe.

Agreed likely rock boring or short spine black....It depends on the urchin. Some will directly eat coral, and a lot will just bump into coral and accidentally chew on it a bit. Tuxedos are the least likely to bother anything.
