    Default sand crabs

    when i was down in npb, there were tons of beds of your typical sand crabs, but while i was digging, i found this really weird looking one, it was all white and it actually had pincers and really long antenae and would attack the other crabs, any idea what it was?

    i was looking at that too, but the images of mole crabs also brought up pictures of sand crabs, maybe it was just a male sand crab hence, no eggs
