black sea urchin
Diadema setosum
10.3422, 123.907
Field Notes
Description:
sea urchin of deep black color with nasty thin and long spines
Habitat:
It has been suggested that Diadema setosum populations are temperature-dependent in their spawning seasonalities. Temperatures higher than 25oC have been cited as a possible spawning cue.[5] Equatorial populations are those recorded to spawn at no particular times throughout the entire year. This is true for the Philippine populations of D. setosum.
Notes:
LOCATION:
Be Resorts, Punta Engano, Mactan, Cebu
