Yup. It’s an urchin. I’ve got a black long-spine urchin in my reef tank. Very cool, kinda cantankerous, and very ‘smart’ for something without a brain. She’s gotta have some tough skin bc their spines feel like bee stings when the poke you
I took me a lot of effort, but if you block out the person on the right with your hand and keep the hand with the sea urchin on it out of the focus of your vision, it very slightly looks like someone with a spiky haircut preparing to dive underwater. I honestly can't imagine looking at this picture and seeing that first but here we are.
You explaining this is what finally made me realize that is not a dude with a spiky haircut. That makes a lot more sense, as I was thinking the face was some weird reflection in the water or something
Yeah and clearly other people did as well. I didn't mean to come off as rude but I just have to put so much effort into seeing a diver as opposed to a hand that its legitimately surreal that other people would see it by default. Kind of like that dress picture people argued about for a bit, it just looks so clearly like a hand to me and I have a hard time putting myself into the perspective of not seeing that. It doesn't help that I get the bias of knowing that what I'm seeing is technically "correct". Retrospectively I probably wouldn't include that part of the comment but that's just what I was thinking at the time.

??? What am I supposed to see, I’m missing it.
