There were several small crabs in the mud of the mangle forest. They have one huge claw and a very tiny one. They could be the left or the right claw. They would run to their holes on the mud at the first sign of danger.

Thank you Christine for the ID suggestion.
Great spotting! Looks like a fiddler crab (genus Uca)...not sure of the species though!
