Some urchins like to cover themselves in various debris they find. This particular species are found all over the world in shallow tropics from tide pools to 100ft (30m). Not only are they nice to look at with their fun colors, they are used for their appetites by keeping some invasive algae in check in Hawaii that would otherwise smother the local coral.
Although, not specific to this species, aquarium keepers have found that urchins will readily except all manner of cute hats.
A slice of life nature comic that follows the hidden lives of marine creatures just doing what they do. How big of a sea star can a seagull swallow? Can certain sea slugs regenerate most their bodies? Are sharks and octopuses friends, foes, or something else entirely? All these questions and more are explored in humorous single page narratives focusing on one or two species at a time.
