Common name: Sand Dollar

Clypeaster, commonly known as sand dollars or sea biscuits, are a genus of sea urchins found in warm, sandy regions. They are characterized by their flat, disk-like shape and distinctive star pattern on their upper surface. These echinoderms are fascinating additions to a reef tank due to their unique appearance and behavior. They are detritivores, feeding on organic material in the sand, which helps to keep the substrate clean. However, they require a deep sand bed and stable water conditions to thrive. Hobbyists should note that they are sensitive to changes in water quality and may not be suitable for beginner tanks.
