Default Sand Dollar??

When I first setup this tank, approximately 4 months ago after adding LS (fine Fiji pink caribsea arag-alive) I found a few hitch hikers (small disk animals) one was green, the rest have been pinkish. They attach very securely to LR or glass and are often in the sand as well. My first guess is sand dollars and I can’t find anything else that closely resembles them. Thank you in advance for any help.

i have several, can't find anywhere to buy them online, or info on them in a reef tank. very lil info on them at all, they seem to be doing well in my tank but my thinking is if this is rare i need to get them seeded into another tank aswell to try and protect them... thoughts???
