Have you ever found a live sand dollar? We hear they’re the currency of the sea, but did you know they’re just small, flat sea urchins that are commonly found in soft, and often shallow sandy parts of the ocean? They have a diet which consists mainly of crustacean larvae, plankton, algae, and kelp. If you see one alive and on shore, make sure to place them safely back into the water. 💜 Video: @ashbrd . . . #visitslo #beach #seaurchin #sandollar #pismobeach #castateparks #beonksby #urchin #sanluisobispo #sanluisobispocounty #slocal #slocounty #marinebiology #oceanlife #beachcombing #thingsyoufind @castateparks @oceanodunessvra #oceanodunessvra #oceanodunes #pismo #pismodunes #seashells #liveseaurchin #livesanddollar #805 #slolife #tiktok #visitcalifornia
