Spiny marine animal (3,6)

I believe the answer is:

sea urchin

(Other definitions for sea urchin that I've seen before include "Shelled marine creature" , "Main thing" , "spineless creature" , "Marine animal with globular body" , "Marine invertebrate - enrich USA (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
