Urchins

A pile of dead Sea Urchins and Sea Potatoes (the bleached, egg like specimens) found washed ashore on Sanibel Island.

The "Sea Potatoes" are a species of littoral sea urchin. They have spines similar to the Sea Urchin pictured but the spines are longer and appear more hairlike.

There were dozens of these washed up on the beach the week before Christmas 2010.
