Fatgs

1

It is one of the "collector urchins", which cover their upper surfaces with debris from their surroundings.1

2

A 1998 study suggests the debris may act as ballast, stopping the urchin being swept away by wave surges while it feeds.1

3

The genus name Toxopneustes means "poison breath", from Greek words for poison arrows and breath.1
