Description

This small, oval Echinoneus cyclostomus (Round-mouth Bean Urchin-- great name!) measured a little over an inch long, and a bit less wide, with short red spines. It's not very common at all, and this is the only live one I saw at Lord Howe Island. Thanks to naturalist Ian Hutton for finding it!
