Mespilia Globulus: Algae eating beauty

The mespilia globulus, also known as the Tuxedo Pincushion Urchin, is amazing when viewing them close up.  I was lucky enough for mine to come right up to the glass for me to snap a few shots with my macro lens.  This is pretty close to a 1:1 magnification.  You can see some feelers coming out around his spines.  His blue stripes are totally uniform, it's insane.  Also an amazing Golden Ratio feat as well as the blue stripes are 3 to the spines 5.
