The species that does not match the description given is:

  1. urchins-too few can drastically change a coral reef

While urchins can impact kelp forests, having too few of them does not typically have a drastic effect on coral reefs. In fact, the balance of urchin populations can sometimes be crucial in maintaining the health of coral reef ecosystems, but the statement as it stands is misleading and does not accurately reflect their role in coral reefs.
