Chocolate Chip Sea Star
Although sea stars live underwater and are commonly called "starfish" they are not actually fish. They don't have gills, scales, or fins like fish do.

Short Spined Sea Urchin
Sea urchins have a mouth called Aristotle’s Lantern, with just five teeth - each on its own jaw - it's perfect for scraping surfaces for food as they cruise along!
