Interesting. I have a blue tux and a yellow tail damsel as well. Have never observed the damsel cleaning my urchin.

The first time I ever saw a blue tuxedo urchin at an LFS, I was pretty much determined to get one. With any urchin, you have to realize that they're going to roam around & mess with whatever they come into contact with (save maybe anemones). You either deal with the carnage or dispose of the urchin. I don't have any super valuable sps, so not an issue in my tank. Might even consider getting a second, maybe different colour tux.
