    The fish keep a good distance from the strange urchin, fearing the wrath of giant claw on its head. It is certainly more intimidating than the usual algae accoutrements. Whether it is a reward from a mighty battle or an evolutionary freak of nature is unknown. But fear the claw! :)

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !

    :) Made me smile.

    Think how fearsome the urchin would be with two claws.:)

    It sported this claw for days. It's going to be hard to top that. Two claws would though. :)
