I also think that...That is really good information. I also think that they tunnel into the faces of beaches below high tide level and their tunnels are flooded at high tide. I would love to find out how they would survive. Although I live on a beach and can see these animals almost everyday, I did not know about the dance. There is also something special about Asia. I saw locals flicking small dead cockle half-shells so that they rolled down the face of the beach like a wheel and large ghost crabs would come out in the middle of the day and chase the shells. The game was for the person to dive at the tunnel and cover it up before the ghost crab could get back. Usually, the ghost crab won. In Australia, the crabs hide all day and are never bold.Queensland Coasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15580365317662289224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1125378901301298870.post-12396236839793485952011-07-31T19:38:36.737+02:002011-07-31T19:38:36.737+02:00Awesome post, Info and photos!

I thought it was the case only here in Kuwait, but obviously not :/Nicolehttp://nicoleb.org/mnblognoreply@blogger.com
