Phyllacanthus Imperialis, known as Kaiser-Seeigel, Kaiser-Lanzen-Seeigel or Sputnik-Seeigel (English: Sputnik Ururchin, Land Mine Sea Urndin, Imperial Lance Urn, Imperial Sea Udin), belongs to the family of the Cidaridae (lance seek). This sea urchin is widespread in the coral reefs of the Indopazacifiks and in the Red Sea and can occur down to depths of 70 meters. The nicely prepared housing presented here illustrates the characteristic structure of the lance bowel. Phyllacanthus Imperialis is a night -tactative sea creature that is hidden during the reef structure between stones during the day. He is an omnivore, but mostly feeds on algae, but also does not spurn AAS.
