Description
Mudflat Sentinel Crabs
These burrowing crabs in live in the mangroves and have some beautiful bright blue pincers. They really stand out against the brown mud! They scoop up mud with their claws and filter out the edible bits in their mouth and dispose of the sand. Taken in South East Queensland, Australia
