If you took the test, I hope it made it home in one piece. I was amazed I got the test I found this week just up on the boat intact.

WHat "Test" are you referring to Redrover?

These guys are usually in-sand dwellers. The purple one was out though....& movin' along well to compete w/ some nudis. The sand dollar was found by someone else & the yellow one was uncovered during an underwater Archeological course. If you're interested in the photos of the dig, here's the link:

In your first photo the ‘test’ is on the right, the external skeleton that remains after the urchin has died.
