Echinoderms include sea urchins, sea stars and starfish. The meaning of echinoderm is 'spiny skin'. Therefore one method of protection is spines that can break off in a potential predator and cause irritation, some species such as the crown of thorns starfish have poisonous spines. Tough skin puts of other predators. Most echinoderms have remarkable self restoring abilities; the starfish can regrow itself from a small piece of its body as long as that piece contains a sufficient portion of its 'mouth and water vascular system' (i.e. the centre bit of the star).
