message: Around here, in Va, Nc, & Sc we call them sand crabs. However I read above that in nc theyre also called sand fleas. I'm having confusion here. Can anyone give me a little help here, eh? (I'm part canadian) Signed, Sneaky Oviraptor18talk edits tribute 19:11, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I've removed the lookie cookies nonsense. I checked and nobody says this. Except one person, on flickr, who got the name from us. Has nobody even thought to double check this for four years? Eris Discord | Talk 03:55, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

message: I have not come across anything suggesting that the Emerita can bioluminesce. Does anyone have a source for this? I don't believe that to be true.

While at the beach this week I was digging these up and realized that what I called them, was not what everyone called them. So I took a photo and posted on facebook and opened the comments to see what other called these little creatures. 
The results: Sand fleas, Sand crabs, Mole crabs, Sand Fiddlers, Sand dobbers, Fiddler crabs.
The photo and comments are public and can be seen here  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.116.77.85 (talk) 14:33, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

message: The article listed "conch bois" as an alternative name.  I am skeptical and have removed it.  It was recently added.  --TeaDrinker (talk) 23:27, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: On further investigation, it seems to have been added several times by different users, with no citation. Sand fleas also seems to be a term of concern, although it is in the cited reference, so I will leave that in. --TeaDrinker (talk) 23:30, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
