EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are introduced to the charismatic and prickly character of the sea urchin. Captured by AUS-631 in the mesmerizing depths of Richelieu Rock, Andaman Sea, Thailand, this image showcases a close-up view of an Echinothrix calamaris – a true underwater daredevil! With its vibrant colors and intricate patterns, this marine marvel is not one to be taken lightly. Its sharp spines stand tall as a warning sign for any curious creatures that may come too close. Known for their painful stings, these echinoderms have mastered the art of self-defense. But don't let those menacing spikes fool you; there's more to this sea urchin than meets the eye! Beneath its formidable exterior lies a delicate creature perfectly adapted to life in water. With grace and elegance, it navigates through coral reefs like an acrobat performing on stage. As we admire this stunning photograph, let us appreciate both the beauty and danger that coexist beneath our oceans' surface. The Asian waters hold countless wonders waiting to be discovered – from colorful fish darting between corals to fascinating echinoderms like our spiky friend here.
