| Item | # 0004001605 |
| Family | ECHINOIDEA |
| Name | Loxechinus albus - Giant! , (Molina, 1782) |
| Size | 109 x 61 mm |
| Locality | Caldera, northern Chile |
| Note | One giant (width= 109 mm, height= 61 mm) and very nice live-taken specimen of Loxechinus albus, an edible sea urchin found in Chile. This one was collected by a fisherman in a remote location in northern Chile, and it is one of the largest that I have obtained. Currently, it is very rare to get large specimens because this species is heavily exploited and also because the algae forests where they live are now threatened. So it is very difficult to obtain such large and very nice specimens like this one. The specimen was carefully cleaned with soft brushes and soap, but it still can be cleaned further to perfection. I am offering this specimen at a low initial price for such a giant specimen. Perfect giant for your large sea urchins collection or wunderkammer. |
