Compared to ''[[Strongylocentrotus purpuratus]]'', this species is pretty "wimpy," with slender spines and a more fragile look and feel overall.The real identification problem comes from [[Strongylocentrotus pallidus|White sea urchin (''Strongylocentrotus pallidus'')]], which is a subtidal species which tends to be paler and not as tall proportionately as this species. If you have a test or a particularly perplexing specimen, look closely at the pores: in this species they are arranged in sets of five pairs, as opposed to six or seven pairs in [[Strongylocentrotus pallidus|White sea urchin (''Strongylocentrotus pallidus'')]].rchin (''Strongylocentrotus pallidus'')]]. +
