Echinoderms are organisms that live on the ocean floor. Echinoderms include sea stars and brittle stars, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers. Sea cucumbers move by swimming or squirting water. Sea stars and brittle stars walk on the seafloor using tube feet. Describe the environment in which these organisms live. Predict the adaptations that would be beneficial to echinoderms for living in this environment.

The environment? Its definitely sea. Place with full water and weird fish.

The adaptations. Echinoderms change colour for adaptation while starfish bony, calcified skin, protects them from most predators, and many wear striking colors that camouflage them or scare off potential attackers.
