Halloween has arrived at SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast Aquarium and even the sea urchins can't resist the urge to get into the ‘spikey’ spirit! In a twist of underwater creativity, the collector urchins have decided to join the festivities, but not in traditional costumes; they're going undercover, masking up with Halloween-themed collectables.

Guests can witness the unique behaviour of the resident sea urchins who, in a spec-Dracula display, have collected an array of Halloween decorations showcasing their playful personalities.

Tripmates gratilla, commonly known as the collector urchin, is a species of sea urchin found in the Indo-Pacific region. Loved for their spiky exteriors and fascinating behaviours, the echinoderms at SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast have added a dash of mystery to their daily routines in celebration of Halloween.

Onlookers have been amazed to see the collector urchins mischievously scuttling along the rocks, proudly displaying their spook-tacular Halloween collections!

With their commitment to education and conservation, the aquarium team has embraced this Halloween extravaganza as a fun way to raise awareness about the incredible biodiversity of our oceans.

Guests can delve deeper into the world of these spine-tingling collector urchins this Halloween and discover a range of other marine and freshwater creatures at SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast, including sharks, rays, turtles, little blue penguins and more!
