These are sand dollars 🏝💵 They move by using their cilia, which are hair like structures that work together to move the animal across the sand in search of food. This particular species of sand dollar will often feed by standing itself vertically and using its cilia to capture passing plankton. Video credit: Georgia Aquarium | Animal Planet
