urchins eat the rock clean. you won't even have coralline. not to mention they knock everything over.
a green brittle star is a known fish killer.
flame scallops are very hard to keep alive
Sally's can be a little aggressive if they're confronted, but will scamper away for the most part. I've had a spiny and a pencil urchin in my 55 for over a year now, and while they do tend to knock over small corals, they don't "eat the rock clean". I have so much coralline in that tank, I wish they would eat some. I think my green brittle has grabbed one of my small chromis, but considering most of my fish are over 2" in the tank he's in, he doesn't touch them. Flames can be sensitive to new tanks, but if your tank is over 6 months old, you won't have any problems with them.
