Tripneustes Depressus
''Tripneustes depressus'', the white sea urchin or sea egg, is a species of sea urchin in the family Toxopneustidae. It is found on the seabed in the tropical eastern Pacific Ocean including Mexico, Panama, Ecuador and the Galápagos Islands. Description ''Tripneustes depressus'' is the largest sea urchin species in the Galápagos Islands with a mean diameter of . The growth rate averages per month. There is very little difference in morphology between ''T. depressus'', ''Tripneustes gratilla'' and ''Tripneustes ventricosus''; they are suspected of being the same species and genetic analysis strengthens this argument. ''T. ventricosus'' is found in the Caribbean and may have been separated from ''T. depressus'' by the closing of the land bridge between North and South America. ''T. gratilla'' has a wide range in the tropical Indo-Pacific, from East Africa to Hawaii. Distribution ''Tripneustes depressus'' is found in the tropical eastern Pacific Ocean, occurring in Mexico, on the ...

Tripneustes Gratilla
''Tripneustes gratilla'', the collector urchin, is a species of sea urchin. Collector urchins are found at depths of in the waters of the Indo-Pacific, Hawaii, the Red Sea, and The Bahamas. They can reach in size. Description Collector urchins are dark in color, usually bluish-purple with white spines. The pedicles are also white, with a dark or black base. Individuals found at Green Island had orange-tipped spines. The spines of some specimens are wholly orange, while those of others are only orange-tipped or completely white. This color disappears when the individual dies or is taken out of the ocean, and is difficult to preserve. Collector urchins reach in size. Debris tends to "collect" on these urchins, hence their name. Unlike some other sea urchins, collector urchins graze continually, day and night. They graze near the substrate, and their diet includes algae, periphyton, and seagrass. Most collector urchins feed on seagrass fronds; this has an ecological impact vary ...
