I had no idea Sand Dollars were so beautiful in motion... I have found a lot of their skeletons on Vancouver Island beaches.
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.

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.

Its amazing to see it move.
Its like a ocean roomba
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)
I always thought they were starfish fossils :0 Also, what's the name of the music??
Interesting, didn’t know they moved, I used to think the waves, current moved them around

Fascinating creatures
That is AWESOME
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.

I’m looking up sand dollar facts because today I found the tiniest sand dollar ever. I’ve found lots of both living and dead sand dollars before but today I found a dead one in perfect condition…the size of a pin head! I literally felt like I had just discovered treasure.

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.
