Sea Urchin
21. West Coast Sea Urchin
A huge number of sea urchins unleashing obliteration on US West Coast. Huge "urchin barrens" stretches of exposed seafloor spotted with only many the spiked spheres have spread to coastal Oregon, where kelp backwoods were once so thick it was difficult to explore a few regions by boat.
22. East Coast Sea Urchin
Sea urchins are commonly prickly, globular creatures, echinoderms in the class Echinoidea. Around 950 species live on the seabed, possessing all seas and profundity zones from the intertidal to 5,000 meters (16,000 ft; 2,700 fathoms).[1] Their tests (hard shells) are round and spiked, ordinarily from 3 to 10 cm (1 to 4 in) over. Sea urchins move gradually, creeping with their cylinder feet, and at times propelling themselves with their spines. They feed fundamentally on green growth yet in addition eat sluggish or sessile creatures. Their hunters incorporate sea otters, starfish, wolf eels, triggerfish, and people.

Echinoids have a rich fossil record going back to the Ordovician, around 450 million years prior. Their nearest family members among the echinoderms are the sea cucumbers (Holothuroidea); both are deuterostomes, a clade which incorporates the chordates.
The creatures have been concentrated since the nineteenth century as model life forms in formative science, as their incipient organisms were anything but difficult to notice; this has proceeded with investigations of their genomes as a result of their abnormal fivefold evenness and relationship to chordates. Species, for example, the record pencil urchin are mainstream in aquariums, where they are helpful for controlling green growth. Fossil urchins have been utilized as defensive talismans.
