Very cool! I didn't even know urchins like that existed.

BTW, congrats on winning the lionfish contest in Digidiver. That shot was my favorite, also.

Good find on the urchin, are they more common in Maui than here in Kona? I've only seen them a few times.

I've seen them here a couple times too....aren't they also call night urchins?

Great pics and congrats Jim

They are not that common here. This one was at 80 feet. They are usually in the deeper water.

Beautiful. The second Urchin shot is gorgeouos, and the Leaf Scorpionfish is a really nice one too.
