Default sand dollar?

It may be hard to see but, this small flat disc on the top left of the rock has a light brown star on the surface... is this a sand dollar?! And if so, does it need anything in particular to thrive? I assume I should keep doing what I'm doing but wanted to see if anyone else has sand dollars or knows what they need.

Thanks!
Dana

The sand dollar in question is sitting on some purple coraline on the rock, left of the turbo snail!

Hard to tell with the picture. Could be and then again could not be.

I'll post another picture after the day lights are on, that might turn out better. Well, if I can FIND it now! It's not at that spot anymore of course!
