Sand Dollar

Sand Dollar

Hey guys, just a quick note this evening, I have learned over the years that there are very few people who respond to my blogs on the weekends so I will just keep it short. 
 
This is a Sand Pancake or a Sand Dollar, some call it by one name and some call it another.  I got this specimen from work the other day and brought it home to play with in the Brown “mini studio”.  This is again only the skeleton, the live animals live under the sand, and at night would most likely be the only time you would ever see one alive.  Again just something different from the aqua world we now live in!!
 
We are headed out to dinner, talk to you tomorrow, Barry
