Well talked about these guys in my diversity class. They're in the same phyla but so dang different. One gotta be nerdy to want to draw them afterwards, might do this more often to learn their anatomy and also write a short recap of what I can remember I guess. Tho I disslike how the urchin turned out, but meh
A short recap mostly for myself c:

The brittle stars usually lives deep down on the ocean floor with only the arms sticking up. The fish can swim around eating their arms and thankfully they're so brittle only the arm falls of instead of the fish getting the whole star. The arms later regenerate with ease. And the normal seastar has muscles around each suction foot on the bottom, and with help of pressurized water it can move and climb with them! Both these has a specialized cleaning system with amoeboid cells collecting the rest-products and disperse them through the gills on their skin!
And did you know the seastar har specialized growths on its skin which removes organisms and dirt from its skin with small claws so algae and simliar cant get stuck to it! The urchin has simliar growths but instead of actively picking its skin they can be poisonous instead, so the thorns aren't the poisonous part of the urchin! The sea cucumber is the only organism of these which doesn't have gills in its skin, but they have lungs which are made for breathing in water! The oxygen just simply diffuse into it from the water and lungs!
