Stomopneustes variolaris
, the
black sea urchin
or
long-spined sea urchin
, is a species of sea urchin, the only one in its genus
Stomopneustes
and only species still alive in its family Stomopneustidae. It is found throughout the tropical Indo-Pacific, with a patchy distribution.
They are found in marine habitat. Dead
Stomopneustes variolaris
form shallow marine sediments. They are omnivores. They have sexual reproduction.
It is a rather big and strong regular sea urchin. The spines are robust and sharp, black with sometimes a blue-greenish tinge (depending on the light). They can be recognized thanks to the 5 grey sutures on the upper face, exhibiting distinctive zig-zag pattern. The oral face is clearer. The juveniles are clearer too (they can be black but also pale brown), and often show strikingly asymmetrical spines, due to their habit to use them for digging hiding holes in soft rocks.
This species shows a remarkably patchy distribution though it can be pretty abundant where they are found. They can be encountered from the east African coast to the Philippines, on rock and damaged reefs, most often in shallow waters but never too close to wave action. They are particularly abundant in Sri Lanka.
Habitat: rock pools, crevices, bores, overhangs and the like. Preference for shady areas with constant water circulation, avoiding direct wave action. Also distributed in SE Arabia, W India, Pakistan, Maldive area, Ceylon, Bay of Bengal, East Indies, north Australia, China, south Japan and South Pacific Is. and Australia.
General distribution: tropical Indo-Pacific; from the Red Sea to Polynesia; tropical, Indo-west Pacific Ocean; East coast of Africa to South Pacific Islands. Depth range: littoral waters, near 18 m.. Ecology: benthic, inshore.
