They can a wonderful animal to watch while sitting on the beach, or a tasty item for dinner.

Where the crabs live A ghost crab lives in burrows on sandy beaches. one thing that's very cool about a ghost crab is if a predator is coming the ghost crab stops and just seems to disappear in the sand, that's how the ghost crab got its name, it blends in with the sand. a rock crab dwells on rocky seashores, and forms his homes in-between rocks, a female pee crab, lives in brome land plants that grow on tropical trees, it lives in water that collects at the bottom of the plant. |

The 2 claws are on the 2 front legs of the crab, they use the claws to pick up there food, and attack there predators.
