Pencil Urchin in glass box with tray.
PU986-4
For Pacific sea urchins, it’s like a stationery shop: there are several kinds of pencils! This species, Phyllacanthus Imperialis, has rather fine "pencils". These are of course its spikes. And you can meet it from 0 to -70 meters deep in the Indo-Pacific area and in Australia. It is a rather nocturnal animal that tries to be discreet during the day by staying hidden under the rocks. This one will not be discreet at all, in his glass box... But that’s what is expected of him when you open the door: it will come out on a tray, with no filter...
