any more urchins left and are they reef safe?

I just dropped off 3 to Janey last night. I may have 1-2 more to spare - I'm not sure what my last count is. Where are you located? (be specific). Yes they are reef safe any very tame. Nothing can or will bother them either, so they are perfect for a FOWLR tank. They're times more efficient than snails with dealing with algae.

The story with the urchin is that I have a 40 gallon tank and bought 40lbs of LR from Tampa Bay Saltwater. At first, I didn't even know I had any urchins because they were tiny, smaller than a pencil head. A couple of months later, they all start coming out of the rocks and I've realized I've had more than 25 of these and they are growing fast! They post a hazard to my hands and I worry about my fish injuring themselves in this minefield - remember I have a small tank!
