The Soldier Crab
The light blue soldier crab, also known as Mictyris longicarpus, live on sandy beaches between the Bay of Bengal and Australia. It is one of Australia’s most loved crabs. Adults are 25mm (1 inch) across. They feed on detritus in the sand, leaving rounded pallets of discarded sand behind them.
The males form into large ‘armies’ along the beaches at low tide, before the crabs dig under the sand to wait for the next low tide. This is how they got their name ‘soldier crabs’.
Dear Cooper,
Wow! I love your post on the light blue soldier crab. I’ve never seen such a beautiful color on a crab. I also didn’t know that it is Australia’s favorite crab. Thank you for posting!
