The Ghost Crab: Small but Spooky

Ghost Crab




Who's that popping up from the deep to say "BOO" on Halloween?  It's none other than a ghost crab.  

These creepy looking ghouls come out at night to scurry along the beach searching for something to devour.  Though they look small and helpless to humans, they are an unwelcome sight to other crabs about to become a next meal.
