Description:

This crab was about 10cm in size and night active. I dont think the eyes can be more folded than this :)

Habitat:

On the sand (a runner, not a hider) during low tide. Coral reef and rock a mot of rock formations very close.

Notes:

Photo taken at around 1900 hours in the evening.

Thank you for the comments Rams and Sintija, as well as the ID suggestion Bayucca. One step closer to actually be more into crabs I would say ;)
