sea urchins can either reproduce sexually or asexually sea urchins can either reproduce sexually or asexually
Sexually. They are hermaphrodites and have both sets of sex organs, but sperm still has to meet egg.
Sea urchins generally have separate sexes and spawn seasonally every year. Eggs and sperm are usually released to the water column where fertilisation occurs.
Spines of the sea urchin can cause injuries of the skin.
Turtles mate, in male, female pairs. Much like a dog or other four legged animal, the male mounts the female and fertilizes her eggs. Where things change is that the female then, typically, will find an unclaimed area, dig a hole in the sand, deposit the eggs into the hole, and then, at least partially, cover them with sand for the remainder of their gestational period. When the baby turtles hatch, they make their way instinctively to the water, in hopes of avoiding most predators. "Turtle runs", as they are commonly known, are at their height when it is the darkest, as an added security measure. There are some types of turles that live exclusively in the water, or who lay their eggs in the water. For them, the eggs are simply laid in an area where they are less likely to stand out, not necessarily buried. When the babies emerge, they will head to the surface for air, since they need oxygen. *The same applies to tortoises, who are all rounded shell turtles.

They reproduce asexually and sexually.
sometimes, when they see a full moon
According to the book Laboratory and Field Investigation in Marine Life they reproduce through broadcast spawning, which is realizing a bunch of sperm and eggs into the water with the chance of one becoming fertilized.

Sea urchins generally have separate sexes and spawn seasonally every year. Eggs and sperm are usually released to the water column where fertilisation occurs.
Sea Stars reproduce both asexually and sexually.
They can do both! A strategy that has evolved in some sea stars and brittle stars is the ability to reproduce asexually by dividing in two halves while they are small juveniles, while turning to sexual reproduction when they have reached sexual maturity.

Phylum Labyrinthomorpha is a group of microscopic marine organisms, often considered protists, that have complex, labyrinth-like shells made of silica. These organisms are found in ocean sediments and play a role in marine food webs as primary producers. Their unique shell structures make them distinct from other marine plankton.
