Entirely marine, they occur in all seas and at all depths but prefer shallower waters and rocky bottoms. Arbacia and Strongylocentrotus are the most familiar American genera; one species of the latter, the red sea urchin ( S. franciscanus ) of the Pacific coast, is estimated to live for 200 years or more.
