A starfish is in the Echinoderms group. :)

Starfish are members of the class Asteroidea, which includes starfish and sea stars. These should not be confused with the class ophiuroids which include brittle stars and basket stars.

Starfish are echinoderms belonging to the class Asteroidea. The names "sea star" and "starfish" are also used in a broader sense to include the closely related brittle stars, which make up the class Ophiuroidea.
