I believe Echinoderms evolved first.
Cnidarians are true radially symmetrical animals. They include jellyfish. Echinoderms (like starfish) also display radial symmetry. It is important to note that the larvae of echinoderms are bilaterally symmetrical and that Echinoderms evolved from a bilaterally symmetrical group.
Cnidaria
Sponges, Cnidarians, Mollusks, and Echinoderms are not Arthropods.
Cnidarians and echinoderms
fish, mollusks, worms, crustaceans, echinoderms, sponges, tunicates and other cnidarians

Echinoderms (ex: starfish), cnidarians (ex: jellyfish) and and some vermiforms have longitudinal radial symmetry.
The Cnidarian classification group evolved in about 1824.
An invertebrate is an organism that lacks a backbone. The 6 groups of invertebrates are sponges, cnidarians, worms, mollusks, echinoderms and arthropods.

No, cnidarians do not have spicules. Spicules are small, needle-like structures made of calcium carbonate or silica that are found in some sponges and echinoderms for support and defense. Cnidarians, such as jellyfish and corals, have a different type of support structure called a mesoglea.
Echinoderms are thought to have evolved from bilaterally symmetrical ancestors because their larval forms exhibit bilateral symmetry. Over time, echinoderms undergo a process called pentaradial symmetry, where they develop a five-point radial symmetry characteristic of adult echinoderms. This suggests a modification from bilateral to radial symmetry during evolution.
