Answer:

Sea urchins eat using a structure called Aristotle's lantern

Step-by-step explanation:

It is made up of five hard plates that come together like a beak. They use their beak-like mouth to scrape rocks clean of algae. ... Sea urchins mainly congregate in colder, offshore waters, but sometimes travel into shallower waters looking for food.
