I got this random motivation to buy random things, how about urchins? My tank is 2 months old, kept with live rock and inverts, Are urchins hard to take care of? Should I get one? Or do you guys have any other ideas of invertebrates? My tank is kind of young yeah, the parameters change often..

My biggest concern is that your tank won’t have enough algae to support it yet, better to wait until it can sustain itself. You could always supplement with nori rubber banded to a rock. But if it were me I’d wait 2-3 months and there will be plenty. I love my tuxedo urchin, a real work horse!

I actually have a LOT of algae that I can't get rid of, brown, clear, green
 
They will also pick up random things and put it on themselves. I love mine because it does a great job with algea and don't mind having to rescue the occasional hermit crab or snail off of it.
