Echinoderms
An echinoderm () is any animal of the phylum Echinodermata (), which includes starfish, brittle stars, sea urchins, sand dollars and sea cucumbers, as well as the sessile sea lilies or "stone lilies". While bilaterally symmetrical as larvae, as adults echinoderms are recognisable by their usually five-pointed radial symmetry (pentamerous symmetry), and are found on the sea bed at every ocean depth from the intertidal zone to the abyssal zone. The phylum contains about 7,600 living species, making it the second-largest group of deuterostomes after the chordates, as well as the largest marine-only phylum. The first definitive echinoderms appeared near the start of the Cambrian. Echinoderms are important both ecologically and geologically. Ecologically, there are few other groupings so abundant in the deep sea, as well as shallower oceans. Most echinoderms are able to reproduce asexually and regenerate tissue, organs and limbs; in some cases, they can undergo compl ...

Comatulidae
Comatulidae is a family of comatulid crinoids. Since 2015, it replaces the family Comasteridae. Description and characteristics This family is of recent restoration, and still has no consensual description. However the description of the family Comasteridae remains partially valid. This family counts between 93 and 95 species, distributed in 21 genera, which makes it the second most diversified family of crinoids the behind Antedonidae, representing approximately 1/6th of known crinoid species. It contains most of the big species of shallow tropical feather stars, in particular in the Indo-Pacific. List of genera This family has been recently restored following genetic works from Charles Messing's team. It contains the following genera: * subfamily Comatellinae Summers, Messing, Rouse, 2014 ** genus '' Alloeocomatella'' Messing, 1995 -- 2 species ** genus '' Comatella'' AH Clark, 1908 -- 2 species ** genus '' Davidaster'' Hoggett & Rowe, 1986 -- 2 species ** genus '' N ...
