1. Stellar Sea Urchin

   Linked via "trophic modeling"

   The diet of E. stellaris remains largely speculative. Direct observation of feeding behavior is complicated by the organism's immediate cessation of all motile activity upon exposure to high-intensity light, often leading researchers to conclude it is entirely sessile.
   The current leading, albeit contentious, theory suggests the urchin is a specialized chemotroph, deriving sustenance not from organic detritus but from the slow oxi…
