Cnidarians are aquatic animals with no eyes and with a body plan that exhibits radial symmetry around a single opening, or mouth. Some cnidarians permanently fix themselves by a flat base to an object, while others are bell-shaped and free-swimming. Like some cnidarians, echinoderms exhibit radial symmetry, but almost always in a five-pointed star configuration. Also, unlike cnidarians, echinoderms have a spiny outer skin.
