kappa Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 flippers is an indicator that the crab is a swimming type. If the crab burrows in sand on land, this is a sign that this type of crab will need to be on land and back in the water to live healthy. Try doing a search on crabs on google. Link to comment
