Blue tuxedo urchin

Does anyone have experience with the tuxedo urchin? In Singapore I am only ever able to find the brown tuxedo urchin instead of the beautiful blue tuxedo urchin.

I bought the urchin to scrape away the hard green algae at the live rock which the snails were never able to get at. To my surprise the urchin was very capable at removing those hard green algae even at rough rock surfaces. It scrapes so hard at the rock surface that what is left is bare white rock. However I noticed it also ate half of my golden clove. I'm worried it will eat my zoas too but so far it leaves them alone even if walking over them.

Anyone have experience with these urchins and are they a threat to soft small corals like zoas?

Have one for over 2 years.  Ime, One is enough in a tank.  Will only eat unhealthy n dying cloves or zoas. Other than that, a good reef tank mate.
