The Ghost Crab is most active at night, scavenging for plant or
animal material that washes ashore.
During the day they burrow into the sand just above the waterline to
keep moist and cool. Called ‘Ohiki in
Hawaiian, Ancient Hawaiians ate Ghost Crabs salted, raw, or broiled. This crab measures up to three inches (8 cm)
across.
