Echinoderms

Starfish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers and sand dollars: sea animals only, with a spiny skin over a skeleton of hard plates, and a body built in five parts around a middle. Water pumped through canals inside the body works hundreds of tiny tube feet, each with a sucker, which they walk and grip with. A starfish can grow back a lost arm.
