Urchin - Phyllacanthus imperialis

One of several of species of slate pencil urchins found at Kwajalein. It was around 3 inches in diameter but will grow to perhaps 3 times that size. They seem to be a favorite food for someone, possibly large crabs or octopus, as we find many leftover spines scattered in surge channels .
