Snails, particularly certain species like the carnivorous moon snail, eat sand dollars by using their specialized radula, a tongue-like organ equipped with tiny teeth. They scrape the surface of the sand dollar to access the soft tissue underneath. By drilling a hole through the sand dollar's test (the hard outer shell), they can reach the edible parts inside and consume them. This predation plays a role in the marine ecosystem, helping to control sand dollar populations.
