It turns your hand yellow and is a dead giveaway to put it back. Thanks for tuning in!! Wait, what? You wouldn't add why your hand would turn yellow?! Haha
I find a lot of sand dollars around the Charleston Bay Area. If I see a live one I always leave it be. I only keep the dead ones. They’re very important since they clean out the sand and water and help keep microorganisms balanced
i picked up a live one of these buddies by accident some years ago in south carolina! i thought it was an algae covered rock lol. i had never seen a live one & had no idea they had spines so i was very surprised when it poked my hand
Close! "Sand dollars" are the common name most people give to the whole family, while sea biscuits are just certain species within the family (usually the puffier ones are called sea biscuits). Of course, naming conventions differ depending on who you ask, and many animals have multiple common names, so it can quickly get confusing.
