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,
