Metalia sternalis – Substrate Cleaner Sand Dollar
The Metalia sternalis, also known as the sand dollar, is a small invertebrate native to the Indo-Pacific region. Recognizable by its slightly flattened round body and short, silky-touch spines, it measures about 5 cm when fully grown. It is a robust, active animal and completely harmless to corals, fish, and other invertebrates.
An ideal burrowing sea urchin for the sand
Specialized in burrowing, the Metalia sternalis spends much of its day partially burying itself in the sand in search of food. Its natural behavior makes it an excellent maintenance agent for tanks with sandy substrate, actively contributing to the aeration and cleaning of the substrate.
It consumes both microalgae, organic debris, and various detritus present in the sand, making it a discreet but very effective omnivore. Its activity improves the overall health of the substrate while reducing the proliferation of unwanted algae.
Maintenance Conditions
- Minimum recommended volume: 100 liters
- Temperature: 23°C to 27°C
- pH: 8.0 to 8.4
- Substrate: fine or medium sand, several centimeters deep
- Compatibility: perfect with corals and invertebrates
It is advised not to introduce Metalia sternalis into young tanks without microfauna or an established substrate, as it may not find enough food.
Why choose Metalia sternalis?
- Efficient sand cleaner
- Natural burrowing behavior
- Robust, active, and easy to maintain
- Harmless to corals and invertebrates
- Ideal for reef aquariums with sandy substrate
With its small size, targeted cleaning capability, and discreet behavior, the Metalia sternalis is a valuable ally for keeping your substrate clean and dynamic. It fits perfectly into balanced reef tanks where it plays a role both useful and aesthetic.

Très bon nettoyeur
Je l’ai depuis 1 mois et suis très satisfait de mon achat. Oursin très actif dès la mise en eau. On ne le voit pas beaucoup car il est enfoui tout le temps mais on peut apercevoir cette petite boule quand il s’approche des vitres, sous le sable. J’en commanderai d’autres dès qu’il y en aura à nouveau.
