Echinoderm samples were collected from Hormuz Island in 2010–2011. The sampling was based on a qualitative survey, conducted in intertidal areas. The collected specimens were transferred to a laboratory for identification according to the valid literature. In this study, ten species of echinoderms were collected, including: six Asteroidea (Astropecten monoacanthus, Luidia hardwicki, Aquilonastra iranica, Aquilonastra samyni, Astropecten polyacanthus pheragmorus, Astropecten polyacanthus polyacanthus); two Ophiuroidea (Macrophiothrix elongate, Ophiocoma scalopendarina); and three Echinoidea (Echinometra mathaei, Echinodiscus bisperforatus, Echinodiscus auritus).
