Really... it's a shell of a type

[@UteMaz]

Interesting and good to know. I also heard, that if you see an alive Sand Dollar upside down, you can safe them by simply turning them, so they can dig themself into the sand.

[@temsters8806]

awww

[@mjremy2605]

Good to know, thanks! SAFE THEM is poor English. Try this: 'MAKE THEM SAFE BY...' 'DIG THEMSELF' is poor English. Try this: 'DIG INTO THE SAND'.

[@jesussanchez5758]

I went to search sand dollars and notice I had already watched about a minute of this video sometime in the past. I realized there must’ve been another time where I randomly wanted to learn about sea dollars.

I love this comment, such genuine enthusiasm. We love to see it!!

[@okpunky]

I just heard about them tonight. An online friend who lives in Florida went snorkeling and she posted A bucket with some in. We’re not alive. Learn something new everyday.

[@bugjams]

I always just thought they were coral or something, like did anyone see these as a kid and really think they were ever alive? I mean, it _makes sense_ they're living animals, but it just seems so weird too.

[@GameShowFan9001]

Coral are alive as well

[@avocadothecat]

Corals are also Animals btw...

[@bugjams]

@@avocadothecat I mean... yeah, but they're not alive as we usually think of living things. I could've worded this better. I just thought sand dollars were like non-moving, filter-feeding creatures like coral. I didn't know they had fleshy bits and moved and preyed on food while alive.

[@avocadothecat]

[@brandonfoley7519]

[@sabrinadavis2412]

great video! I learned the different ways sand dollars position themselves to get food and to stay safe from predators. I like that you included their embryo stage to end of life, too.

[@angelwings798]

Never seen a live sand dollar before! Looks very cool! And so fuzzy ima die!

[@3rdGenCamaroGirl]

My sister and I found a few of these little guys washed up on the beach. If it has the hair on it it’s alive and should be left in the ocean. If not then it’s dead and is okay to keep(just check local laws first since some beaches don’t allow any part of an animal dead or alive to be collected)

[@biancabarreiro323]

Hi. These little creatures are amazing. I used to see them on beaches I went around where I live, but recently I haven't seen them and I'm very worried. Does anyone know if they're alright, if I can do something, can anyone tell if it's the sea pollution? Or is it me looking in the wrong places? What is their favorite place? Does it have to do with the type of sand? Does anyone noticed it too? Do they migrate? Thanks.

[@YiScarf]

There fine i recently found a live one today at a beach a bit bigger then a quarter

If they hung around there for yeas then yeas it is good to worry about your surrounding environment.

[@alpsycho6748]

First comment is super😍

[@deusexvesania1702]

Sooo... Why do they have a weed leaf on their back?

[@zddxddyddw]

That's just an evolutionary remnant from when they were regular, ball-shaped sea urchins. In sea urchins those bands (called ambulacra) run from top to bottom like meridians on a globe; and the slits are where the tube feet come out from. As the dollars began to flatten during evolution, the bands were reduced to that flower shape, concentrated around what would have been the "north pole" of a regular spherical sea urchin. In sand dollars the ambulacra are called petaloid areas.
