About Sea Urchins are small, spiny sea creatures of the class Echinoidea found in oceans all over the world. (The name urchin is an old name for the round spiny hedgehogs sea urchins resemble.) Their shell, which is also called the "test", is globular in shape and covered with spines. The size of an adult test is typically from 3 to 10 cm.
The spines, which in some species are long and sharp, serve to protect the urchin from predators. The spines can inflict a painful wound on a human who steps on one, but they are not seriously dangerous, and it is not clear that the spines are truly venomous
Typical sea urchins have spines that are 1 to 3 cm in length, 1 to 2 mm thick, and not terribly sharp. Diadema antillarum, familiar in the Caribbean, has thin spines that can be 10 to 20 cm long. Common colors include black and dull shades of green, olive, brown, purple, and red.

Sea-Urchins laying on golden glow of rocks,
under the ripples of water in the Caribbean
sea.....

Enjoy your days my beloved friends, Jenxx

Wowww...thats is an amazing about dear Bobot, you see...you really have to tell us more about your
country!! 7000 islands, thats so amazing, we only have 6..lolll I used to live on one of them, 30 km long and 15 weight, thats all...4500 people living, sometimes quite scary when stormy and lots of ice as it takes 2 hours to get to the mainland..:)
I believe at once you have a much nicer sealife, hoping you will show some animals living in there, or plants, would love to see! Sad all our seas are polluted now, all done by people..;(
Be well and also enjoy a lot, xxJen

We have very good beaches here in the Philippines, our country is an archipelago consisting of 7000 islands, our water is very clear and some of the reefs here have been existing for millions of years. we some of the major reefs here that are the spawning area for fishes in the South China sea and the Pacific.., although sad to say some area where the population is dense, the water is highly polluted.
have a good weekend ahead..

Its a pity you can only see this when blown up
dear Bobot, as a thumbnail it seems quite boring:) Happy you did see these colours, couldnt
believe my eyes when seeing this, next to big crabs...loll Sealife is fabulous in the Caribbean, what about sealife there?
Hoping my eyes will still stay for a while like
this:)) Be well my friend, Jenxx

Funny isnt it knowing this is totally nature
and natural, nothing done with it!
And I do agree with you that it would be nice
to see more abouts added, makes shots more
understandable and seeing different sometimes!
Really appreciate your comment, thank you
so much!! xxJen

What a terrific shot. My first thought was it was a total abstract but your explanation helped me see what is really going on here (I wish more folks would put comments with their pictures). This is most excellent work. Your composition and the light are outstanding.

You really use the right words for this one sweet Keith, the sea is a big item in my life...would love to have a tiny, small cabin on the beach, of
course on poles against spiders and other creepy bugs;)))
Thanks for the word ripples, couldnt think of that one, happy you like my little urchins, dont step on them!! Hugs Jenxx

Morning Rif, hope you had a good night sleep
and an easy day of work:)
Thanks for liking my sea-urchins, they came out
quite nice with this glow on the water and rocks,
it was just like this, never expected such nasty
protective anymals to be so soft looking..so you see how something can look different as it is..;)
Wishing you a joyful day!! Hugs and kiss Jenxx
