Jim, Those are nice pictures. I know the one is an urchin, but what is that ball down amongst the spines that is in the picture? That one is a extremely nice macro. Love the Gobies and the Frogs, too.

It just looks a lot different that close up, I guess. I have seen some urchins here in FL with little balls all amongst the spines and I was thinking that might have been what you were taking a picture of.

Great shots, after learning what those balls in the urchin are, I might imply some individuals I know remind me of those little balls that amongst the urchins.

Especially when they are full like the one in this photo.
