Description Not Available
The Toxopneustes pileolus
(Image 1) is one of the most
venomous sea urchins. Venom
comes from the disc-shaped
pedicellariae, which is pale-pink
with a white rim, but not from the
white tip spines. Contact of the
pedicellarae with the human body
can lead to numbness and even respiratory difficulties.
This species of sea urchin comes under the family
Taxopneustidae which includes 11 other genera and 38
species. The general distribution of the flower urchin
is Indo-Pacific in a depth range of 0–90 m (Suzuki &
Takeda 1974).
