Maybe green sea urchin that's the best I can find. Does anyone have any experience with them?

Hmm... It does look like a green sea urchin, but the color is a little light.

It looks like a tuxedo urchin to me, just not the right color. If they have red ones, then you might want to look into that one. They are considered 'reef safe' but they are like bulldozers. I don't have any in my tank, even though I would love one, because I don't want an SPS coral knocked into a hammer coral. If it isn't glued down, it'll get knocked over and worn as a hat.
