    Anybody ever keep them in a reef. I used to always get washed up sand dollars as a kid and always used to buy them at gift shops. I'm currently researching them, but if you have any info from your own experience, it would be nice to hear from you :D

    I wouldn't keep one. They'll spend 99% of their time in the sand bed, probably won't find enough to eat, and eventually die and pollute the system. JMHO.
