So, after all that deep-sea stuff, I thought this week might be a good moment to look at some tropical, shallow-water species....
A fire urchin (probably Asthenosoma) from Puerto Galera, Philippines
Stunning image of the cidaroid Plococidaris verticellata by Shawn Miller
More fire urchin love!
A magnificent anal sac in Astropyga!
Another anal sac from a diadematid urchin..
Details on Mespilia globulus!
The slate pencil urchin Heterocentrotus mammilatus..or swirling maelstrom of the ELDER GODS?
What lies beneath? the teeth from Aristotle's Lantern!

I must say that "magnificent anal sac" is a phrase I never thought I'd see. But magnificent they are-- gorgeous pics!
