Ocypode brevicornis is a species of ghost crabs native to the Indian Ocean, They are relatively large ghost crabs with a somewhat trapezoidal body. Like other ghost crabs, one of their claws is much larger than the other. Their eyestalks are large and elongated, tipped with prolongations at the tip known as styles. They are common inhabitants of open sandy beaches, living in burrows in the intertidal zone.
