I have a urchin which might be a t, toreumaticus, I believe that it's considered to be a carnivorous urchin, really slow but does his work really well as a clean up crew, but i believe that since he's so slow he will not be able to take care of my 210g tank with my 3 feet fat Tessalata in there so I am planning to add a brittle star, will this be an ok decision? I would also like some other clean up crews, if it weren't for my moon wrasse i would've definitely gotten atleast 10 huge nassarius snail's

They should be fine. My LFS keeps long spined urchins, tuxedo urchins, pincushion urchins etc with all sorts of starfish and they've never had any issues. I kept a tux and brittle star in my sump for years without problems

I believe that's a purple pincushin if so it's safe. Mine has never eaten a coral or inverts.

Oh, no, its a t. Toreumaticus, it's considered to be a carnivore and native to the indian ocean since that's where I got it from
