Sand Dollars: Its Alive!

Sand dollars are amazing creatures that are in fact alive despite seeming like they do not move. This video shows that sand dollars do move, as well as the difference between a live and a dead sand dollar.

[@NaomiOdinson]

As a child I would gleefully collect the remains of the dead into a bucket and use them to decorate my sand empire, to warn all who dare to oppose my rule.

@@Sylverknight0222 it looks very cool indeed. i just think that the contrast between the back of this cute flat rock creature and its underbelly is a bit funny. to me, calling sand dollars "the horror of the deep sea" is an equivalent of calling them very cool. i’m not saying that they’re gross or scary. i just didn’t expect the guy to have million tentacles :D

Millions of them.

As for the whole love and bliss thing, if that happened then we'd turn into some sort of hive mind. Sadness, anger, fear; every emotion we have is what makes us human. Also, don't compare humans to every other living organism. We are on a level of consciousness far higher than they are.

[@ANPC-pi9vu]

Florida had a massive coral reef die off. Efforts are being made to grow corals and sponges in labs and then they are reintroduced. The die off was caused by a lot of things including bacteria from leaking septic systems that eat the coral and a die off of echioderms that led to algea problems. Efforts have also been made so far to reintroduce sea urchins to help with the agea problem. Sadly sand dollars probably were decimated by the oil spill, but if you are still seeing some, they should recover on their own over time.

They’re usually out in deeper water, where they don’t get pummeled by the waves or stepped on by swimmers. Their bodies are very fragile, and they don’t survive getting broken. When they’re feeding, they turn up on edge to catch stuff in the water.

I thought “wow, this one is different from the others, it’s so dark and pokey! Must be covered in ocean things like barnacles and plants”. Then the parts I thought was sea plants starting moving the sand dollar up and down my hand like a thousand legs, and I was so freaked out the I screamed and said out loud “oh my god, I am so sorry, sir, I thought you were somebody else” while running into the ocean to drop him at the spot I found him.

We find a lot of these on the beach near where I live, we toss them further into the ocean like frisbee's so they don't wash up on the shore.

[@kylewalker9062]

When I was a kid, I collected a bunch of sand dollars at the beach and brought them home. I didn’t know that they were living creatures, so I cleaned them with dish soap to get the “brown color off” and came back an hour later to the smell of rotting fish.

One time when I was at the beach I found a live sand dollar washed ashore. It was a Dark purple and very pretty, I was mesmerized by the bristles. Then I threw it back into the ocean. It was a cool experience.

[@sorarivers8667]

Not gonna lie, I never knew they were actually corpses of living creatures. Makes sense now that I think about it XD

[@Chloethepikachu100]

Maybe let’s NOT tell our Animal Crossing characters. 😱

[@rslwannabe9475]

So basically what we've learned from this is sand dollars are evil creatures. How dare they kill plankton! I do love my spongebob so they better not kill him!

[@minetruly]

I knew they used to be alive, but never thought about what the living animal was like... I kinda imagined it like a clam in a shell but didn't think about , like, where is the opening for it to crawl around or stick out of the shell.
Gonna Google sand dollar anatomy now.

I use to have one the size of quarter but it was pretty thick and it was made of stone. You could still see the star shape on it as well. I was in elementary school at the time but didn't know it was a sand dollar. I thought it was a meteorite when I first discovered it.

[@citriz]

I knew they were creatures, but I've never seen a living one. This is really interesting.
Also, the ppl getting anxious over its little feet should see the underside of a living horseshoe crab. Pretty cool, but freakier than sand dollars in my opinion. I picked up living horseshoe crabs when I was little & was scared when its legs started waving around. It makes little clicking noises too.

[@catpoke9557]

I feel like the big difference though is that horseshoe crab feet are kind of cute in a weird way lol
