i dont think it would weigh much....at most 2 lbs. cuz i figure a ziplock sized bag with some water and the urchin, maybe a little styrafome for insulation. ill throw in cool pack cuz its gonna get hot. but hoinestly, i dont think its worth it, cuz then if it dies, i dont give a refund.

urchins just do a general cleanup of all algae, i have 3 in my 55. but that is too much. ill move one to my 30. they will also eat corraline algae, but then when the poop it out it helps spread it around the tank.

Yellow tangs stick primarily to hair algae (not the long stalks only very small pieces) and nori (seaweed)

yes, you can have a fuzzy dwarf with those fish. BUT, it depends on how large the clowns are and also how large the fuzzy dwarf is. my fuzzy dwarf jumped out of my tank and died so just be aware.

well, give me the measurments in inches of each. you dont have to worry about the coral beauty or the tang or ccstarfish. also, if you get an anemone, i doubt the lion would get stung by that to get the fish. its nature!
