Description
This unusual, cookie-shaped creature has an important ecosystem role - it feeds on a number of microorganisms, algae, shellfish, and marine plants, keeping their populations under control. As with other sand dollars, the five-slotted sand dollar can be preserved and used as a canvas for paintings. They also make wonderful, unique ornaments.
