Crab
22.2218, -159.563
Field Notes
Description:
This small crab is sand-colored and almost indistinguishable from the sand underwater.
Habitat:
This crab was on the sand under water only a foot or less deep near the beach.
Notes:
I saw several of these crabs. They seem to like being underwater. They can dig themselves into the sand rapidly. When I caught this one and had wet sand in my hand he grabbed it grain by grain and fed each grain through his mouth so I assume he filters food from the sand. I don't know what species this is so any ID is appreciated.
