Get off my lawn

this picture of two fiddler crabs fighting for the same hole in the sand. the ecological significance of this would be the competition. the whole was bigger and had a straight shot to a shallow water source for resources. making this hole a prime spot to want. these crabs were found pushing each other out of the hole until the bigger crab, the one where u only see its larger claw, beat out the smaller crab for the hole. This was taken in the salt marshes near wrightsville beach.
