Common name: Sea Urchins

Diadematoida is an order of sea urchins known for their long, thin spines that can be quite sharp and venomous in some species. Members of this order, such as the genus Diadema, are important for their role in controlling algal growth on reefs. They are generally nocturnal and can be sensitive to water quality, requiring stable conditions. Hobbyists should handle them with care due to their spines and consider their potential to reshape the reef scape by grazing on algae.
