Expansion needed

I think the article needs to say a little more about sea cucumbers (and echinoderms) in general to make sense to the non-specialist. For example, it says "There are no tube feet ..", as if the reader knows that there might (or should) be tube feet. Peter coxhead (talk) 09:53, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree and have expanded the lead section accordingly. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:34, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
