Product Description
Sally lightfoot crabs have is a typically shaped crab with a shell that grows three-five inches long, five pairs of legs, and two small, blocky claws on the front two legs. The non-clawed legs are flat, broad, and tipped at the ends. This shape allows the crab to run and jump quickly in all four directions.
Adult Sally Lightfoot crabs are usually a deep red color, spotted pink or yellow. The extreme lack of camouflage doesn’t concern this crab as they can out-maneuver almost any predator. If frightened, the Sally Lightfoot crab will leap into the turbulent waters and skitter along the surface or hop along lava rocks. Their tipped legs can fit into the tiny rock holes and hold on while being buffeted by waves.
Scientists are unsure of where their name came from, but they speculate it has something to do with the crab’s nimbleness. It is rumored to have been named after a Caribbean dancer, thanks to its agility and thier lightfoot way of dancing and jumping.
Sally Lightfoot Crab are also known as the “Red Rock Crab”.
