Sand dollars and sea stars are both marine echinoderms, but they have distinct differences. Sand dollars have a flat, disc-like shape with a rigid skeleton covered in fine, velvety spines, while sea stars have a star-shaped body with multiple arms radiating from a central disc. Additionally, sand dollars primarily inhabit sandy ocean floors, feeding on tiny organic particles, whereas sea stars are typically found on rocky substrates and are known for their predatory behavior, often feeding on mollusks. Their reproductive and locomotion strategies also differ, with sand dollars using their spines for movement and sea stars using tube feet.

Regular beach sand is silica - mineral sand is like fine grained quartz.
sea stars, sea urchins, sand dollars, and sea cucumbers.
ones harder then the other
Brittle stars and sand dollars have developed several adaptations to evade predation by sunflower starfish. Brittle stars can shed their arms, allowing them to escape while the starfish is distracted. Sand dollars possess a hard, flattened body and can burrow into the substrate to hide from predators. Both species also exhibit behaviors such as rapid movement or camouflage to avoid detection.
Thier is five kind of Echinoderms, their is sea stars, brittle stars, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, and sand dollars.
The structural deference between them is that Sea urchins are more globular whereas sand dollars are flattened. Unlike sea urchins, the sand dollars burrow themselves when threatened. Sand dollars have anus opening at their back side whereas the sea urchins have it at the top.
The average size of sand dollars is between 5-10 centimeters.
Echinoderms include sea stars, sand dollars, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, etc.
a starfish or something along the line of that
If you mean echinoderms, the answer is starfish, brittle stars, sand dollars, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, and sea lilies.
