Moon crab
Matuta lunaris
Family Callapidae
The moon crab has all its walking legs modified into paddles. These are used for swimming, and as ‘spades’ to dig and bury itself in soft sediment. With eight little spades rotating rapidly, the crab disappears into the sand in an eyeblink. It leaps out from its cover to catch any passing prey with its sturdy pincers.
Moon Food: The moon crab eats worms, clams and other small animals, foraging more actively at night. These little crabs are quite common but rarely seen by daytime visitors as they are then often buried in the sediments.
Human Uses: The moon crab is eaten in some other countries.
