Ocypode ceratophtalmus
This fellow was buried halfway in the sand. I got pretty close with the camera and he didn't move. He either played dead, or he was dead.

So cool!
Love the first pic. It's seems like I could reach out and feel the texture of the crab. Great shot!
Thanks all :-)
I am still wondering if he was alive and just played dead for that big predator?
Amazing photo, the first one! Brilliant!
See those amazing eyes...!!
aww. love it!
Cool!
Sure looks like one (couldn't find really that much Info at first glance, weird, need to keep looking).
Thanks!
Looks a lot like a Horn-eyed Ghost Crab
Thanks, Susan
