Sphaerechinus granularis
An attractive, large and densely spiked sea urchin. Spikes are purple but white-tipped, providing an overall whitish appearance.
Found in shallow waters, on rocky bottom with plenty of seaweed.
All of sea urchins we observed this summer, and many other sea species, are my son's finds - he adores all sea creatures, and usually spends all of his holiday looking for them. Sea urchins are among his favorites; and after taking them (he is doing it rather expertly, I must admit) out, we take photos and notes and put them back into water.
