Description
Once widespread across the Caribbean, west indian sea egg (Tripneustes ventricosus) is most often found in shallow waters and seagrass meadows. Divers harvest it for its gonads, which may be consumed. Because of overfishing, it is now becoming rare in the more easily accessed parts of its range.
