Nimble Spray Crab

Percnon gibbesi

Nimble Spray Crab

Adult nimble spray crabs inhabit rocky intertidal shores and shallow coastal waters in warm regions. They are agile algae grazers, often racing sideways over exposed rocks between waves. Their broad, flattened carapace and long legs help them cling to rough surfaces in strong surf.
