From our species guide
In plain words: The tuxedo urchin is a small, round sea urchin. It is about the size of a golf ball. It has rows of short, dark spines. In between are smooth stripes of shiny blue or green skin.
Tuxedo urchins are among the most reef-friendly urchins. They graze algae and often decorate themselves with bits of rubble. They may knock over unglued frags, so secure your corals.
