The long-spined sea urchin is a species that lives on coral reefs in the western Atlantic and Caribbean basin. These animals are herbivore, and a healthy population of sea urchins can help prevent the overgrowth of algae on reefs. Sea urchins live in shallow waters of 1 to 10 meters. They are often found in crevices.
