Sand Dollar on our Hervey Bay Beaches Alive - Sand dollars are not shells — they’re actually a type of sea urchin, closely related to starfish and sea cucumbers. The flat, round shape helps them burrow into the sand and stay from being swept away by waves. The star-shaped pattern on top is called a petaloid. It’s part of their respiratory system and helps them absorb oxygen from the water. Living sand dollars are usually dark purple, brown, or grey, not white. The white ones you find on the beac

Sand dollars might look like simple shells, but they’re actually living animals related to sea urchins and starfish. These flat, round creatures spend most of their lives buried just beneath the sand on the ocean floor. When they’re alive, sand dollars are covered in tiny purple or brown spines that help them move slowly through the sand and collect microscopic food particles like algae and plankton. The beautiful white “shells” people often find on the beach are actually the skeletons of sand d

Many people mistakenly just look at the color and say if it’s white it’s dead, and therefore collectable. In reality, both alive and deceased sand dollars vary in color and size! The easiest way to tell if it is alive is to check if their spines are still intact. This means that they have a fuzzy, velvet-like texture. If you hold a live sand dollar to the light it will often glisten because their w
