No - sea urchins are part of the echinoderm phylum, with sand dollars, starfish and sea cucumbers.
yes they are!
No, it's a mollusks
A Trigger fish eats spiny sea urchins, crustaceans, and mollusks.

Yes. Classes of mollusks which include clams, oysters, and other bivalves are sessile filter feeders.
No, They are bilaterally symmetrical. Radially symmetrical animals include echinoderms (starfish, sea stars, sea urchins) and many plants.
Turtles and tortoises are both animals that have a shell. Other animals that have a shell include mollusks and sea urchins.
No, mollusks do not have tube feet. Tube feet are a feature of echinoderms, such as sea stars and sea urchins, which they use for locomotion and feeding. Mollusks typically have a muscular foot for movement instead.
No, conchs are not echinoderms. Conchs are marine mollusks that belong to the gastropod class. Echinoderms are a different group of marine animals that include sea stars, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers.
No. Sea urchins live in the sea.
No. Sea urchins are echinoderms, meaning, appropriately enough, "spiny skin". Some of the characteristics of arthropods are jointed appendages, an exoskeleton, and a segmented body. While the hard test, or shell, of sea urchins could be thought of as an exoskeleton, sea urchins have no jointed appendages and do not have a segmented body. Some examples of arthropods are shrimps, crabs, lobsters, and insects.
Eider ducks primarily feed on marine invertebrates, such as mollusks and crustaceans, but they are also known to consume some types of echinoderms, including sea urchins. While sea urchins are not a primary food source for eider ducks, they may occasionally eat them if other preferred food items are scarce or available. The ducks use their strong bills to pry open the hard shells of shellfish, but sea urchins are more challenging to consume due to their spiny exterior. Overall, eider ducks may eat sea urchins, but it is not a common part of their diet.
