The sea urchin It is a marine echinoderm animal with a spherical body covered with spines. Sea urchins move slowly, crawling with their tubular legs and sometimes using spines to propel themselves. They feed mainly on algae, but they can also eat slow-moving animals. They first appeared about 450 million years ago during the Ordovician period and still live today.
