The **Sand Dollar** is a fascinating and seldom-seen invertebrate in home aquariums. These creatures have a predominantly tan to brown round body, covered entirely with short spines.

**Sand Dollars** grow to a maximum size of about 3 inches and require a minimum tank size of 55 gallons. They are peaceful and do not disturb other fish, corals, or invertebrates, making them an excellent addition to reef aquariums.

For optimal living conditions, **Sand Dollars** thrive in tanks with ample live rock and sand, providing them with places to hide and forage for food. They are slow movers and should not be housed with fish that prey on invertebrates. **Sand Dollars** spend most of their time searching for small food particles, contributing effectively to your tank's cleanup crew.

As omnivores, **Sand Dollars** need a diet rich in both meaty and plant-based foods. They primarily obtain nutrition from the tank environment, but you can supplement their diet with small foods like mysis and brine shrimp, as well as high-quality frozen, flake, and pellet foods.
