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.
Yes they live on the coast.
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.
