Inhabitants of Oregon's Tidepools: Purple Sea Urchin. Though not especially sharp, purple sea urchin spines are strong enough to wear away bits of rock. Over time, generations of urchins form the shallow pits they live in. The urchin hangs on to the rock and to the bits of shell and rocks that you might see on the urchin, with tiny tube feet that make up part of the soft tissue between the spines. The pits are great refuge from roiling water during high tide and can make mini-tidepools at low tide.
