I suggested H tuberculata because some of the spines appear to be reddish colour near the tips

The live urchin is H erythrogramma. I cant tell if the tests also belong to that species.

The reddish urchin in the bottom left hand pictures could be H.tuberculata whose spines are oval in cross section -- I can't tell from the photo.
