"Camarodonta: A Vibrant World Under the Sea" Explore the fascinating world of Camarodonta, a diverse group of sea urchins found in various locations across the globe. From the mouth of Common Sea Urchin (Echinus esculentus) in Guillaumesse, Sark, British Channel Islands to Slate pencil sea urchins (Heterocentrotus mammillatus) on a coral reef with Pyramid, these creatures never fail to captivate. In Hawaiian reef scenes adorned with Black and Purple sea urchins (Sphaerechinus granularis), we witness nature's artistic palette at its finest. The close-up look between the spines of a Slate pencil sea urchin in Hawaii reveals intricate details that are truly awe-inspiring. Witnessing interactions within this underwater ecosystem is equally enthralling. On a Maui reef, Slate pencil sea urchins coexist harmoniously with Black triggerfish and Bluestripe snapper swimming gracefully above. Aggregations of Common sea urchins beneath Cuvie kelp create mesmerizing patterns while providing vital habitat for countless marine organisms. Nature's ingenuity shines through as Spot gobies make their nests within old Common sea urchins. These symbiotic relationships demonstrate how different species can rely on each other for survival. Herbivorous Common sea urchins play an essential role by grazing on kelp forests, ensuring balance and maintaining healthy ecosystems. Amongst colorful soft corals like Dead man's fingers (Alcyonium digitatum), Happy Eddy finds solace amidst Cape sea urchin colonies (Parechinus angulosus). Even unexpected encounters occur as a curious Common hermit crab crawls atop a sturdy Common sea urchin shell—an unlikely partnership formed in the depths below.
