You gotta rub it in huh Rex!

Ren asked to see pics.


I believe the urchin is a Magnificent Urchin, notice the bright blue spots on each spine. My creature ID book says they are "rarely within depth range of scuba", but we were only about 70'.

I think I found it - long spined sea urchin or Blue Spotted Sea Urchin
Sea urchins (Echinoderms) - Starfish Photos - Seeigel (Stachelhäuter)

Amazing pictures like this are worth rubbing it in. Hope you gave the fish a map of the CA coast so they can vacation here sometime. Thanks for sharing.
