Before a sea pumpkin becomes a … well, sea pumpkin, it spends it’s life as a spiky sea urchin living in a rock pool or gully somewhere on the coast. But once the creature inside the shell dies the spikes fall off and only a green “pumpkin” looking shell is left behind. These sea pumpkins are very popular with people, specially kids, picking up shells.
nice shot 🙂
I love those sea urchin shells and have seen them in many colors on our west coast. Makes a nice pumpkin.
Great shot. My sons used to pick them up and make necklaces from them.
This is fabulous! omg!
