The name is a bit esoteric, but it encompasses a specific-though-broad group of species, including starfish(es?), urchins, sea cucumbers, sand dollars, sea lilies, and more (though atm it's only urchins and starfish), so the term fills a spot more specific than "Underwater Creatures" but more general than a category only for the individual Echinoderms' species. If there's an alternative and simpler name you can come up with, be my guest and suggest it, but for what the category's trying to accomplish, I think "echinoderm" is the only term.

I personally think it's fine. We could educate to an extent. BabyLuigiFire.png Ray Trace(T|C) 18:21, 20 September 2015 (EDT)
Yeah, you have a point, Time Turner. I thought this term was a bit too jargon-y, but we do have categories on mollusks and other generic classifications (although we changed from canine to a more generic dogs at one point, if I recall correctly) so I think this one accomplishes its job.
