About this work
Flower urchin (Toxopneustes pileolus), Zanzibar, Tanzania. This widespread and common species of sea urchin lives in the Indo-West Pacific. It is considered highly dangerous, as it is capable of delivering extremely painful and medically significant stings when touched. It inhabits coral reefs, seagrass beds, and rocky or sandy environments at depths of up to 90 m (295 ft). It feeds on algae, bryozoans, and organic detritus.
