In the sand
In the sea, the sand dollars are found in groups on a soft muddy or sandy sea bed.
Sand dollars live in tropical to temperate climates. They are mostly seen in the oceans of northern hemisphere. They prefer to live in soft sandy beds because it helps them during the breeding season.

Sand dollars are typically found in sandy, shallow waters along the coasts of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, where they thrive in specific environmental conditions. The Louisiana coast, characterized by its muddy, brackish waters and significant freshwater inflow from the Mississippi River, does not provide the ideal habitat for sand dollars. Additionally, factors such as strong currents and the presence of marshlands can further limit their distribution in this region. As a result, sand dollars are rarely, if ever, found along the Louisiana coast.
You can not cheat to get sand dollars. You have to work for it, or you have to buy it.
Yes, there is a difference between Atlantic and Pacific sand dollars, primarily in their species and habitat. Atlantic sand dollars, such as Dendraster excentricus, are found along the eastern coast of North America, while Pacific sand dollars, like Dendraster tenuis, inhabit the western coast. These two types can differ in shape, size, and coloration, reflecting their adaptation to different marine environments. Additionally, their ecological roles and behaviors may vary based on their respective habitats.
since the name includes sand i believe its habitat would be a desert of some kind possibly the Savannah
During low tide, sand dollars face several challenges in their habitat. They may become exposed to air, which can lead to desiccation and stress due to the lack of water. Additionally, they are vulnerable to predation from birds and other animals that can easily access them when they are not submerged. Sand movement and shifting sediments can also displace them from their preferred habitats, making it difficult for them to return to their optimal environment once the tide rises again.
