Obese Heart Urchins have spines covering their tests. The spines are used for movement, including helping the urchin burrow into the sand. They have tube feet that extend from petal-shaped grooves in their test called ambulacral grooves. The tube feet are used for respiration, movement, and feeding. Found buried in thick yellowish granulate soft sand with light almost absent mud about 5m deep, Barra de Navidad, Jalisco, Mexico. January 2026. MEXICO PACIFIC.
