    Two sea urchins today, the more common one the Purple sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, and the Green urchin, Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis.

    Sea urchins always look so interesting.

    I've sat at the side of rock pools watching sea urchins feed and have been totally absorbed. Like Frank I find them so interesting.

    I really need to look more closely when we're by the sea. Maybe I'll spot something very interesting too, like those chitons.

    I like sea urchins. They're just so different.

    It is like when people walk in the woods and only see trees.
