Crinozoa
Crinozoa is a subphylum of mostly sessile echinoderms, of which the crinoids, or sea lilies, are the only extant members. Crinozoans have an extremely extensive fossil history, which may or may not extend into the Precambrian (provided the enigmatic Ediacaran Arkarua can be positively identified as an edrioasteroid).

gollark: Physics has fairly simple laws from which other stuff can be derived. Chemistry contains 198791874819471984712849 rules for 1092471894712894 situations which also won't work in another 1748917240891274089124. This is uncool.
gollark: They are of course not negatively affected by it due to femtoapioformic shielding.
gollark: Chemistry is an uncool science, so our nanobots ignored it by just disassembling unwanted molecules.
gollark: They did this, but only after self-replicating using some unwanted pixels as feedstock.
gollark: It *did* contain no nanobots, but obviously they moved around to enter your opening bracket and assemble μparantheses and APIONET nodes inside it.
