Species Category: Echinoderms & Cnidarians

Dive into the world of Echinoderms and Cnidarians, where starfish light up the ocean floor and jellyfish dance through the waters with mesmerizing grace. Echinoderms, with their radial symmetry and regenerative powers, and Cnidarians, known for their stinging tentacles and pulsating movements, are fascinating studies in marine resilience and beauty. These creatures, from the spiny urchins to the delicate anemones, play vital roles in their ecosystems, captivating us with their survival strategies and their vital part in the ocean’s balance.

Frilled Anemone

Frilled anemones have long tube-like bodies with many fine tentacles on top. Though they are often found stuck to rocks or wharf pilings, they can move around on their own.

Star Fish

The star fish uses the thousands of tiny tube feet beneath each of its five arms to walk around and catch prey.

Sand Dollar

Sand dollars are flat and covered in tiny spines. They use these spines to crawl around and bury themselves in the sand.

Green Sea Urchin

Sea urchins are covered in prickly spines and hundreds of small tubed ‘feet’. Their feet have suction cups to grip their food and move around.
