Spiny creature in a tide pool (6)

I believe the answer is:

urchin

(Other definitions for urchin that I've seen before include "Poor city child" , "Sea creature or mischievous child" , "Mischievous or ragged child" , "Capital of Kenya" , "Grubby boy or sea plant" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
