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.
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 reproduce sexually, with males releasing sperm into the water and females releasing eggs. Fertilization occurs externally, and the resulting larvae develop in the water before settling and growing into adult sea urchins.
Echinoderms.
Sea urchins reproduce by releasing eggs and sperm into the water, where fertilization occurs externally. Once fertilized, the eggs develop into larvae and eventually settle onto the ocean floor to grow into adult sea urchins. The larval stage allows for dispersion and colonization of new areas.
Sea urchins belong to the kingdom Animalia, which is one of the five kingdoms of living organisms. Within the kingdom Animalia, sea urchins are classified under the phylum Echinodermata. Echinoderms are characterized by their spiny skin and radial symmetry, which sea urchins exhibit prominently.
Water.
there are none because sea urchins live in water and not on land unless they are dead
You can raise a sea urchin in a salt-water aquarium. There are no fresh water sea urchins so you would need a salt-water aquarium to properly care for the urchin.
salt water
sea urchins are species which belongs to phylum echinordermata, class ecinoidia. Normally every echinodermates has water vascular system. And sea urchin, yes it is. It has water vascular system.

No. Sea urchins live in the sea.
Sea urchins reproduce sexually, with males releasing sperm into the water and females releasing eggs. Fertilization occurs externally, and the resulting larvae develop in the water before settling and growing into adult sea urchins.
No, atually they live in massive groups, searching for kelp and other sea grasses to munch on. A large mass of urchins can clear massive kelp forests in a short amount of time. Most urchin groups live in shallows, but some species prefer deeper waters.
Sea urchins prefer temperatures at 82 degrees. They can live in salt water temperatures from 72 to 86 degrees though.
yes they do they hatch into swimming larvae
