Laganum laganum – Sand Dollar Sea Urchin Cleaner

Laganum laganum, commonly known as the sand dollar sea urchin, is a flat echinoderm specialized in substrate cleaning. Discreet and useful, it lives buried or semi-buried under the sand, which it slowly traverses to feed and camouflage itself.

A Fascinating and Natural Behavior

By instinct, the sand dollar covers itself with substrate or shell fragments to best blend into the environment. This natural behavior makes it a hard-to-see but valuable resident for the balance of your reef aquarium.

Active Sand Cleaner

As it moves beneath the sand's surface, Laganum laganum helps aerate the substrate and limit dead zones. It feeds on organic particles, biofilms, and micro-algae present in the sand, thus playing an essential role in maintaining the aquarium's bottom.

Care Conditions

• Recommended minimum volume: 100 liters
• Temperature: 23°C to 27°C
• pH: 8.0 to 8.4
• Substrate: fine or medium sand is essential
• Behavior: calm, burrowing, non-aggressive

Compatibility

Laganum laganum is perfectly compatible with corals, invertebrates, and peaceful fish. It does not disturb the decor and does not interact with other species. It should be kept away from sea urchin predators like certain triggerfish or carnivorous wrasses.
