They can munch on your Coraline Algae, I know a guy who has 1 of the big black ones and he has never said to me they eat his snails.

I'm not quite sure really. You'll have to research that a little.

urchins eat coralline, some corals and also have to make sure you have a glass aquarium since they will scrape the hell out of acrylic. I wanted one but they sound like a hazard more than anything.
