this is an Echinothrix calamaris urchin from my guess, If it has the thicker sets of spines with open tips. If all the tips are closed then it is an Echinothrix spp. what I ordered is an Tripneustes sp. you will see that the Echinothrix calamaris or spp is Destructive or harmfull to corals and toxic or harmfull to people and food wise they are both herbivorous and carnivorous.
