Yes, sea urchins are considered bottom feeders. They primarily graze on algae and detritus found on the ocean floor, using their specialized mouthparts to scrape food from rocks and other surfaces. Their feeding behavior plays a vital role in maintaining the health of marine ecosystems by controlling algae growth.

I think a sea anenome and a sea urchin can live together because i have a little aquarium and there is a sea urchin and and a sea anenome (if that's how you spell it) living in there and they were perfectly fine. BUT if you have a sea urchin do not have any crabs in there, because my sea urchin killed one, and almost killed another one by taking its claw off. :(
