Echinocardium cordatum
TheSea
Potato, Echinocardium cordatum, dug up by a bait digger
immediately
tried to bury into the substrate. It uses the spines on the
ventral
surface to move the sand away from underneath it. As it buries
itself
in the substrate it pushes up a ridge of silt and sand up in
front
of it. It can bury itself remarkably quickly for such a slow
moving
animal.
