Thanks for the correction Mark, sorry about that. I have a few submissions I'll have to edit but It'll be fixed shortly.

Hi Tyler.. as your scientific name is at genus level please put 'Ocypode sp." ... @wadigo2... although this genus has one claw larger than the other, the difference is not as great as in male fiddler crabs. If you have accurate suggestions please use the suggest an ID option above and provide supporting links. Thanks.
