hollow tube. Examples of animals in this group are the freshwater hydras, hydroids,
jellyfish, sea fans, sea anemones, and corals.
3. Mollusk . Mollusks are soft-bodied or
shelled animals. Snails, slugs, clams, mussels,
oysters, squids and octopuses, are mollusks.
Most animals like the clams, oysters and snails
have shells that protect their soft bodies.

4. Echinoderms. Echinoderms are spiny-skinned sea animals. They have hard
shells covered with prickly spines or
needles. Starfish, sand dollars, sea urchins,
and sea cucumber are the most common
examples of this group.
