No, because they do not have a backbone. All fish are vertebrates, with a backbone inside, something like your own backbone. Sea urchins are invertebrates...they have an 'exoskeleton' which is a fancy way of saying that their 'bones' are on the Outside, not the Inside.

Sort of. They are scavengers, meaning that they eat already dead organisms, but they do not kill animals to eat them like carnivores do.

No, reptiles are vertebrates, urchins are invertebrates. Sea urchins belong to the group of animals called echinoderms, and are related to starfish and sea cucumbers.

BUT if you have a sea urchin do not have any crabs in there, because my sea urchin killed one, and almost killed another one by taking its claw off. :(
