A example of an ophiuroidea
is a sea star or a star fish. They are part of the five different echinoderm groups: Crinoidea,
Asteroidea,
Ophiuroidea,
Echinoidea,
Holothuroidea.

kingdom animalia --- phylum echinodermata--- class Ophiuroidea
The scientific name of brittle stars is Ophiuroidea. They are echinoderms closely related to sea stars, but have long, flexible arms that they use for movement and feeding.
Brittle stars or ophiuroids. These are echinoderms in the class Ophiuroidea closely related to starfish.
Phyla: Echinoderms Class: -Asteroidea - Sea stars -Ophiuroidea - Brittle stars -Holothoridea- Sea cucumbers
Fred Charles Ziesenhenne has written: 'A new brittle star from the Galapagos islands' -- subject(s): Ophiuroidea
The ophiuroidea is a group of echinoderms that include the brittle stars and basket stars. Over 60 species of this group are known to be bioluminescent or light emitting organisms.
These are the classes of Echinoderms:1.Asteroidea - star fish, sea stars2.Ophiuroidea - brittle stars3.Echinoidea - sea urchins4.Crinoidea - feather stars5.Holothuroidea - sea cucumbers
Echinoderms are a phylum of marine animals. I dont know what is ment by 'the three types' as there are 5 living classes : Crinoidea (Sea lilies), Asteroidea (starfish), Ophiuroidea (brittle stars ), Echinoidea (sea urchins and sand dollars) and Holothuroidea (sea cucumbers). The most commonly observed being Asteroidea, Echinodea and Holothuroide as Crinoidea are generally benthic sessile creatures and most Ophiuroidea are benthic and photophobic so even the littoral ones are rarely seen during the day,
The 5 living classes of echinoderms are Asteroidea (sea stars) Crinoidea (sea lillies) Echinoidea (sea urchins and sand dollars) Holothuroidea (sea cucumbers) Ophiuroidea (brittle stars and basket stars)
The only Echinoderms that have a hearts are a few species of the class Holothuroidea, which are the sea cucumbers (most do not). The other classes of Echinoderms do not possess a heart ever (Class Asteroidea, Class Ophiuroidea, Class Echinoidea)
Sea star or starfish (Asteroidea)Brittle stars, basket stars, serpent stars (Ophiuroidea)Sea urchins, heart urchins and sanddollars (Echinoidea)Holothurians or sea cucumbers (Holothuroidea)Feather stars and sea lilies (Crinoidea).
