Horned ghost crab (Manburr)
Arthropoda – Malacostraca
Distribution:
More active at night, a land based crab which is a scavenger and a predator. They live in holes they make in the sand on the beach. When the hole is open, it means they are out. When there is a ‘door’ (like a trap door spider) over the hole the crab is in the hole.

These crabs move very fast across the sand, living in the intertidal zone.
