Helmet sea urchins primarily feed on algae, particularly kelp and other types of macroalgae. They use their specialized mouthparts, called Aristotle's lantern, to scrape algae off rocks and surfaces. In addition to algae, they may also consume detritus and small organic particles found in their environment. Their diet helps maintain the health of their marine ecosystem by controlling algal growth.
