Sand dollars face predation from various marine animals, including sea stars, crabs, and certain fish species. Sea otters and some birds, such as seagulls, also consume sand dollars. They are primarily hunted when they are exposed on the ocean floor or during low tide. Their flat, burrowing bodies provide some protection, but they remain vulnerable to these predators.
