| Echinoderm
Echinoderms have a few important aspects in common. They have bony ossicles in
their body. They have a water-vascular system which pumps water through the madroporite.
They also have small jaws that are supported by the water-vascular system. And they have tube
feet which they use to attach to objects, for protection, as well as to obtain food.
They have radial symmetry and most can regenerate lost limbs. |

| Introduction to
Echinodermata From starfish to sea cucumbers. |
| Ocean
Animals: Echinoderms Echinoderms are radially
symmetrical animals that are only found in the sea (there are none on land or in fresh
water). Echinoderms mean "spiny skin" in Greek. Many, but not all, echinoderms
have spiny skin. There are over 6,000 species. Echinoderms usually have five appendages
(arms or rays), but there are some exceptions. |
| Wonders
of the Sea: Echinoderms The phylum Echinodermata , which contains
about 6000 species, gets its name from the Greek, literally meaning "spiny
skin." |

| SAND DOLLARS |
| How to Preserve a Sanddollar
One of the keys to cleaning a live sandollar is also very often the least
known. In order to get a sanddollar to bleach white it is important to soak it in
fresh water first. Here are the steps you should follow in order to preserve live
sanddollars. |
| SEA LILIES |
| Sea Lilies on the Run
Sea animals known as stalked crinoids have joined the ranks of those that can run. |
| SEA URCHINS |
| Sea Urchins
Sea urchins are a group of marine invertebrates that today can be
found in almost every major marine habitat from the poles to the equator and from the
intertidal zone to depths of more than 5,000 m. There are around 800 extant species and
the group has a long and detailed fossil record stretching back about 450 million years
ago to the Late Ordovician Period. |
