Purple sea urchin
Sphaerechinus granularis
42.5814, 18.2177
Field Notes
Description:
An attractive, large and densely spiked sea urchin. Spikes are purple but white-tipped, providing an overall whitish appearance.
Habitat:
Found in shallow waters, on rocky bottom with plenty of seaweed.
Notes:
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.
