Inhabits coral rubble and rocky reef areas, seagrass beds and coral reefs (Ref. 800). Has poisonous pedicellariae (Ref. 2957). Feeds on calcareous sediments (Ref. 108108). Found in waters less than 30m. Dwells on soft substrates. Feeds on encrusting coralline algae and turf algae (Ref. 129602).

Life cycle and mating behavior Könsmognad | Reproduktion | Lek | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Members of the class Echinoidea are gonochoric. Fertilization is external. Brooding is common, eggs are held either on the peristome, around the periproct or deep into the concavities on the petaloids. Life cycle: Embryos develop into planktotrophic larvae (echinoplateus) and live for several months before they sink to the bottom using their tube feet to adhere on the ground where they metamorphose into young urchins.
