They are not too hard to keep... Moderate water flow as they are filter feeders lighting is not an issue as they don't need light to survive... The main thing to sort is making sure that the whole don't get clogged with dirt and also not to place it near a skinner outlet as air bubbles can also cause major issues... Is not it is super... My Gobi's and shrimp love to hang out in it

You could introduce some pincushion urchins to help with the algae...

Well they are real hardy and lots of hobbyists have them as a part of their clean up crew... They do an excellent job with algae. But make sure it is the pincushion urchin as it has short spines that can be easily avoided.

Do they harm corals? I dont want their spines to touch the corals. I feel like if they move theyll do damage to wherever their spines touches lol

Their spines are actually quite relaxed unless they feel unsafe. They won't harm the coral at all.
