MAROON STONE CRAB - HAJI ALI
A resident of the rocky shore near Haji Ali, this maroon stone crab Menippe rumphii is a member of the family Menippidae. It is a
stocky crab, usually found under stone and rubble on rocky and sandy-muddy beaches. Unlike other crabs, the maroon stone crab
stays motionless when disturbed; it simply tucks its limbs under its body to merge seamlessly into the surrounding rocks.PRAJWAL J ULLAL
