Does anyone know the name of this Red Sea sea urchin? The picture was taken on a night dive in the Gulf of Aquaba.
Thanks in advance, Sully

Whatever it is, it's a beautiful creature!
It resembles the Queens hat.
Sorry to be of no help whatsoever

I think it's a Regal Pin cushion, so you were not too far out OG!

Many thanks for the answer to my question. Now
I would like to hear from another diver who has seen one of these very pretty urchins.
Is it a rare creature, or just shy and well hidden. sully

Beautiful creature indeed!
I dived last year in Aqaba, and unfortunately never saw that one !
