Answer 3

well just yesterday, my uncle found a broken sand dollar (we called it a sand 50 cents) and inside it looked like a cave, you know in the Cartoons where the person is Chewing Gum and they open their mouth and its all sticky looking? thats exactly what it looked like, and we saw a worm-like creature in it (it was quite gross) and what looked to be like an orange little fly/shrimp with blue eyes.... and in the back it looked like there were more creatures but we couldnt exactly see them. it was really interesting! hope this helped at least a little :)
