Tagann siad i dtír ar thránna agus imíonn na dromlaigh ghuaireacha go tapa, a fhágann sliogán bán croí-chruthach atá ponc-línithe le poll rinne. Tá an sliogán leochaileach agus éasca le brú.
Sea Potato/Heart Urchin
This hairy, greyish potato-sized urchin lives 3 to 30m below the sea, buried just beneath the sand. Washed up onto beaches, its hairy spines rub off quickly leaving a white, heart-shaped, dot-lined empty shell with an apex hole. The shell is fragile and easily crushed.
