    That eye in the middle makes it look even more evil!
    I remember snorkling a long time ago in Malaysia where similar (or the same) species of urchins were really freaking me out. Their spines so long as to almost touch, even when swimming just below the surface.     Posted 9 years ago

The Black long spine urchin

"Diadema setosum" is a species of long-spined sea urchin belonging to the family Diadematidae. It is a typical sea urchin, with extremely long, hollow spines that are mildly venomous. "D. setosum" differs from other "Diadema" with five, characteristic white dots that can be found on its body.
