Echinoderms: The "Spiny-skinned" Animals • Echinoderms include • starfish • sea cucumbers • sea urchins • sand dollars • The water vascular system is a system of fluid-filled internal tubes that carry food and oxygen, remove wastes, and help echinoderms move. • All echinoderms use their tube feet to "walk". Some use them to get food.
Echinoderms have an endoskeleton made of hardened plates. • Adults have radial symmetry, usually in multiples of 5. • They reproduce sexually. The fertilized eggs develop into larva which undergo a metamorphosis to become adults.

Starfish • Starfish have five or more arms (or rays) that extend from a central body. • Starfish have the ability to regenerate. • They use their tube feet to capture prey and to move.
