A pair of low-power binoculars and a bit of time to observe these interesting creatures will reveal their interesting behavior patterns.
Males have one very large claw that they wave to show off or to attract a mate.
The territorial males will readily fight over burrows, which may reach up to 2 feet and take several days to build. The burrowing and feeding of fiddler crabs plays an important role in the ecology of the marsh, bringing nutrient-rich sediments to the surface and oxygen to plant roots. We practice the philosophy of bonding with one another and our enviroment in a manner in which all of us return enriched by this waterborne experience. Family owned and operated. Open year round.
