The Lumpy Claw Crab

The Lumpy Claw Crab is one of the most common members of the Xanthidae Family. They are dominant animals found in abundance in rocky, intertidal (between the high and low tide) regions of Mexico's upper Sea of Cortez. They are very hardy, capable of handling severe changes in moisture content and temperatures from freezing to well over 100 degrees.
