The purples (Strongylocentrotus purpuraeus) are dioecious: that is to say that there are males and females, but i'm not sure of the reds (S. fransiscanus) are. All the reds i've tried (and that's not very many) have had roe.
BTW, i've never tried the purples. I'd have to ask the senorita and sheepshead what they thought Oo o o o [:]-p
