- Greenish-brown to light tan arthropod with a rounded body and a long, spiked tail.
- Not a true crab; it’s more closely related to spiders and mites (chelicerates).
- Females grow larger than males, reaching up to ~12 inches in body diameter.
- Constant burrower and scavenger that aerates sand beds by digging for worms and organic debris.
- Reef safe when small, but large individuals can harm fish and invertebrates; diet should be supplemented with meaty foods like squid and shrimp.
