I believe the answer is echinodermata

echinodermata and Chordata have a very similar embryonic development; tirhe first opening (the blastopore) becomes the anus, while in protostomes it becomes the mouth and several similarties in the formation of skeleton.

It is predicted that Echinodermata and Chordata evolved from the same ancestor
