Sea urchins primarily inhabit marine environments, predominantly found in rocky coastal areas, coral reefs, and kelp forests. They thrive in various oceanic biomes, including temperate and tropical zones, where they play a crucial role in the marine ecosystem by grazing on algae and contributing to the balance of underwater habitats. Their presence is essential for maintaining the health of coral reefs and preventing algal overgrowth.
There are several poisonous animals that are found in the marine biome. These include jelly fish, sea urchins, and sea anemones.

Yes, sea urchins are herbivores because they mainly feed on algae.
Sea urchins reproduce by releasing eggs and sperm into the water, where external fertilization takes place. Once fertilized, the eggs develop into larvae that eventually settle and grow into adult sea urchins. Some species of sea urchins can also reproduce by asexual means, such as splitting or budding.
Sea urchins are found generally in the sea, however they can also be found in/on rock pools or areas near to the sea.
