Do sea urchins die if they are not in the water?
While sea urchins are slow and non-aggressive, they do have spines for a reason. Some sea urchins possess venomous spines, sharp enough to pierce through a diving suit. This venom can cause muscle spasms, faintness, difficulty breathing and death.
Does sea urchins need to survive crashing waves low tides or other special challenges?
Yes, sea urchins are adapted to survive crashing waves and low tides. They have strong, flexible bodies that can withstand strong currents, and they often cling to rocks or other surfaces to avoid being swept away. During low tides, they can burrow into crevices or hide under rocks to stay moist and protect themselves from predators and desiccation. These adaptations allow them to thrive in challenging intertidal environments.

What do lobsters do to survive?

What are some sea urchin adaptations?
Sea urchins have several adaptations to help them survive. To protect themselves from predators, sea urchins will react immediately if something sharp touches their shell and they will point all of their spines towards the area being poked. They are also light-sensitive. This is why they are nocturnal. This light sensitivity also allows sea urchins to move their spines in reaction to shadows. In order to protect themselves from being swept away from the powerful ocean currents and waves, sea urchins lodge themselves into holes or crevasses. Finally sea urchins, somewhat like starfish, have a certain regenerative ability. If a spine is damaged or lost, a sea urchin can rebuild it. However if there is too much extensive damage to the test, the sea urchin won't be able to heal it.
What happened to the kelp forests?
In the 1800s, too many sea otters were hunted for their fur. Without sea otters, fewer sea urchins were eaten. Soon, too many sea urchins were being born. Smaller fish could not survive, because sea urchins ate their supplies of kelp. These fish were food for sea stars and crabs. The sea stars and crabs began to die out.
