Definitely an urchin; the striped and thick but fairly pointy spines is interesting, as that combination of traits isn't common in the usual hobby urchins (which typically only have one or two of those traits, not all three) - I'd be curious to see pics of it in a few months after it's grown a bit to see if it's an unusual species or just a growth phase.
