EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this close-up shot captured by David Fleetham, we are introduced to the enchanting world of the Ten-lined Urchin (Eucidaris metularia) as it finds its cozy spot on a vibrant reef in the Pacific Ocean. This small yet striking echinoderm showcases its intricate defensive structures with an array of spines that make it look like a true underwater warrior. Hailing from the beautiful Hawaii Islands, this marine marvel is no ordinary sea urchin. Its ten distinct lines running along its spherical body give it a unique appearance and earned it the nickname "Ten lined sea urchin". Don't let its size fool you; this little creature packs quite a punch! As we dive deeper into this mesmerizing image, we can't help but admire how effortlessly it blends into its surroundings. The crystal-clear water and colorful coral backdrop create an awe-inspiring scene that transports us straight into an aquatic wonderland. Let's take a moment to appreciate nature's incredible diversity as we celebrate these fascinating invertebrates. So next time you're exploring Hawaii's magical waters, keep your eyes peeled for these slate pencil sea urchins - they may be small in size, but their presence is nothing short of magnificent!
