Echinoderms (from the Greek word meaning spiny skin) consist of 5 or 6 classes (six counting Concentricycloidea).
These classes consist of
Asteroidea - asteroids, starfish, or sea stars.
Concentricycloidea - sea daisies
Crinoidea - crinoids, feather stars or sea lilies
Echinoidea - echinoids, sea urchins and sand dollars
Holothuroidea - sea cucumbers
Ophiuroidea - brittle stars and basket stars
Reef Critters import the following of these classes; Asteroidea, Echinoidea, Holothuroidea, Ophiuroidea. We have never been requested to import the class Crinoidea due to them being considered challenging to keep and for this reason we believe Crinoids should be left in their natural environment to live out their days.
