bolacha-do-mar


Explanation:
bo.la.cha-do-mar

1.animal marinho do filo dos equinodermas (Echinodermata), classe dos Echinoidea, que possui o corpo disforme, achatado como uma "bolacha", daí o seu nome. É do mesmo filo dos ouriços-do-mar.

É sinônimo de bolacha-da-praia. Porém, o google encontra aprox. 24.000 entradas para bolacha-do-mar, e apenas 2.000 entradas para bolacha-da-praia.
