Red Sea Urchin
Strongylocentrotus franciscanus. I'm used to the much smaller Purple Sea Urchin, so I was quite surprised how large this one was when Steve hauled it on board. Tags: sea urchin

Sea Urchins Grazing
I'm pretty sure this is Diadema Genius. I'm less sure about setosum but it does match what I'm seeing on the internet. At the time, I thought these were feeding on the coral but from what I've read, they feed on algae. Species: Diadema setosum (Setosum Spined Urchin)
