I know these are bad, bad pics but they were taken at the beach with a camera phone and it was so bright I couldn't see my screen. I'm sure its some kind of little crab - I just thought he was neat and I'd share. (yes, I left him at the beach)

Sand sifting crab. They usually have them in stock with a little write up about them on Reef Scavengers, but if I recall correctly they usually do not live long in our systems.

i can't rememeber where he was, but apparently they are deep fried and eaten whole by the plateful (like french fries). well, you pull off the little legs first i guess.





i have also seen them for sale on ebay for a few bucks apiece, supposed to be good for sand stirring.
