Hey Buddy! How are ya? I see Lazy’s is getting ready to open up!

Anyway, I googled “urchin with striped spines”. Lots of good pics but hard to compare to your pic. Maybe a pic w whites on can help.

Take care!
 
Species in the Parasalenia genus. Species ID is tricky with these as the taxonomy of this genus is not super well understood
