Description: An echinothuriid sea urchin.
Phormosoma sp., possibly P. bursarium or P. rigidum -- the former has curved aboral spines, and the ones in the images are straight, so a more likey this is P. rigidum (assuming it is a described species).
Note the dark, swollen spine tips marking the poison-bearing spines. Also, hypertrophied pedicellariae around the periphery.
Notice what appears to be a little holothuroid to the right. Item Type: Image Title: Phormosoma Copyright: SERPENT Species: Phormosoma Behaviour: Walking over the seabed. Seems to be followed by small holothurian. This was noted on several occasions with different specimens of Phormosoma Site: Indian -- Indian Ocean -- East Africa -- Lavani Depth (m): 2391 Countries: East Africa -- Tanzania Habitat: Benthic boundary zone Rig: Ocean Rig Poseidon Project Partners: Statoil, Oceaneering ROV: Millenium 93 and 73 Deposited By: Dr Andrew Gates Deposited On: 10 January 2013
