Yes, the Moon's cycle can affect sand dollars, primarily through its influence on tidal patterns. Sand dollars are often found in intertidal zones, where their feeding and reproductive behaviors can be influenced by changing water levels associated with the lunar cycle. During full and new moons, higher tides can lead to increased feeding opportunities, while lower tides may expose them to predation or reduce their available habitat. However, the specific impact can vary based on local environmental conditions.

What is the life cycle of the sand dollar?
The life cycle of a sand dollar begins with fertilization, where eggs and sperm are released into the water, leading to the formation of larvae called echinopluteus. These larvae drift in the ocean for several weeks, undergoing several developmental stages before settling to the seabed. Once they settle, they metamorphose into juvenile sand dollars, which resemble small, flat disks. As they grow, they continue to develop into adult sand dollars, eventually reproducing and starting the cycle anew.
