About 950 species live on the seabed, inhabiting all oceans and depth zones from the intertidal to 5,000 metres. Their tests are round and spiny, typically from 3 to 10 cm across. A few species have venomous spines with potent and potentially deadly effects. ... Some sea urchins “bite,” and a few have venomous bites. Unlike a sea urchin sting, a bite does not leave spines behind. Sea urchins may also trigger allergic reactions that can range from mild to potentially deadly.
