Ophiuroids are carnivores, filter feeders, and scavengers; those of some species use more then one method to obtain food. Mucus on the tube feet can trap phytoplankton, bacteria, and even medusae from the water or particles from sediment that are moved by the tube feet to the mouth; some ophiuroids capture small crustaceans or worms by looping the organisms with their rays. The mouth is surrounded by five jaws and leads to an esophagus that connects to the sac-like stomach. The stomach fills much of the disc, but does not extend into the arms, and ends blindly (that is, it has no anus). Digestion occurs within 10 pouches or infolds of the stomach.

What is diffrerence between asteroidea and ophiuroidea?
The main difference between asteroids and ophiuroids is the way that the rays, or arms, attach to the body. In ophiuroids, the arms are not joined to each other and the body and arms are clearly separated, but in the asteroids the arms are joined to each other and the boundary between arms and the central disc is blurred. #CaseyS

What is a orphiuroidea?
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.
What are the classes of echinoderm?
These are the classes of Echinoderms:1.Asteroidea - star fish, sea stars2.Ophiuroidea - brittle stars3.Echinoidea - sea urchins4.Crinoidea - feather stars5.Holothuroidea - sea cucumbers
What are the 3 types of echinoderms?
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,
What are the five echinoderm classes?
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)
Does crawfish have a heart?
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)
