Flower Urchin

Toxopneustes pileolus

Description:

Flower Urchin - Toxopneustes pileolus although looks less harmless than the typical Sea Urchin with long spines, they do have venomous spines and can cause severe pain. This particular Flower Urchin has collected some debris, including an Octopus (second stage of Regulator) holder to decorate itself and probably also for protection.
