. The most commonly found colour morphs throughout the Indo-Pacific were the white (interambulacral spines) and brown (test and ambulacral spines) and the completely brown colour morph. These were commonly found together throughout the Pacific, and were therefore closely studied in this investigation.

reported, “considerable variation occurs in the elevation aborally of the ambulacra”. Such variation was most apparent between colour morphs. The test of the white colour morphs was typically more flattened aborally, while the ambulacra were less distinctly raised and the interambulacra less correspondingly sunken. The brown colour morph had clearly raised ambulacra and interambulacra that were sunken aborally. This differentiation appeared to increase with age.
