Flower urchin
The flower urchin is a sea urchin with flower-shaped claws that can sting. It lives on coral reefs, in seagrass beds and on rocky or sandy sea floors across the Indo-West Pacific. It is one of the sea urchins most likely to cause a painful and medically significant sting.1

A zebra crab, Zebrida adamsii, often lives attached to its shell. The crab is thought to be immune to its venom.1
Its flower-like claws are the source of its common name and are its most striking feature.1
Tiny shrimp, Athanas areteformis, sometimes live among its spines.1
In the seashell trade, its empty shells are called "mushroom urchins" because they look like mushroom caps.1
