Sea Urchin - Planktonic Origins

Organism : Echinoderm Sea urchin
Species : Paracentrotus lividus
Description : Sea urchins are slow moving marine creatures grazing on algae covered rocks. They have colorful spines and a multitude of tube feet. Few people know that urchins go through a graceful larval stage - the pluteus - barely visible to the naked eye. The pluteus larvae drift with other planktonic creatures and are a favorite food for fish, shrimps and crustaceans.
