I think they mean like living in like a snail vs living around like an urchin

Isn’t it more of a flat urchin?

Well no, the sand dollar is doomed once it gets washed to shore, they live in deeper water and only the dead/dying or soon to be are close to shore, at least in my limited SoCal sand dollar experience(and I’ve seen thousands here) there may be species elsewhere that are fine intertidally but the ones here form beds off shore in 8+ feet of water
