Radiant sea urchin

Astropyga radiata
Ka lebitso: Astropyga comes from Greek words meaning star and anus, after the star-shaped pattern around its anus. Radiata is Latin for radiant, after its colours and spines.1

The radiant sea urchin is a large, colourful sea urchin with long, spiky spines. It lives in warm, shallow seas across the Indo-Pacific, from the African coast to Hawaii and Australia. Its spines are venomous, so it is one to admire from a distance.1

Chefo ya yona (eo e e kenyang ka ho loma kapa ho hlaba) e etsang?

Its spines are venomous and can cause painful wounds. The spines are long and hollow, and the shorter of the two kinds are the venomous ones.1

E kotsi hakae ho batho?

Kotsi ho batho: E bohlokoE ka utlwisa bohloko haholo, empa hoo e batlang e le kamehla ha e kotsi haholo.

It is not deadly to humans, but its spines can cause painful wounds. Because it is large and brightly coloured, divers can usually see it, so injuries from stepping on one are fairly rare. On the 'Kings of Pain' pain index it scores 12 out of 30.1

E etsang ha e tshohile?

It is sensitive to light and can angle its spines towards an approaching threat.1

A crab called Dorippe frascone carries the urchin on its back.1

2

Several shrimps, crabs and small fish live among its spines for shelter.1

3

Its scientific name refers to a star-shaped pattern around its anus, not to the animal's shape as a whole.1

4

Its bright colours and size make it a favourite subject for underwater photographers and some expert fish-keepers.1

5

Its young larvae drift in the ocean as plankton before they settle on the seabed.1

Males and females are separate. Eggs and sperm are released into the water, and the larvae drift as plankton through several stages before settling on the seabed and becoming juveniles.1
