Will a urchin be fine in a 28 gallon sps reef?

[coral keeper]

I was just wondering, are there any kind of urchins that will do fine in a 28 gallon mixed reef?

not likley, the problem beiong urchins tend to bump into your SPS causing minor wounds alot and leading to possible secondary infections.

Oh, ok thanks.

A spiny one yes, but not a pincushion or royal ones. They should not bother anything AND they are a fraction of the size.
Beware there are some reports that they will go after your softies but mine never did.
They do eat coraline.

Ok, so I can keep a spiny urchin in a 28 gall tank? Is this how a spiny urchin looks like? If not, can you please post a picture of a spiny urchin? Thanks!
