Ni ngay ko xàmmee

  • Its shell (test) is rigid and a solid pink, red or purple1
  • Its many pedicellariae (stalked grasping parts) look like a cluster of flowers1
  • It often covers its body with debris from its surroundings1

Ñu ngi koy faral di jaxasoo ak: It is similar to the flower urchin (Toxopneustes pileolus), which lives in the Indo-West Pacific. The rose flower urchin has a solid pink, red or purple shell, while the flower urchin's shell is variegated, meaning it has mixed colours.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
