Sand bubbler crabs (or sand-bubblers) are crabs of the genera Scopimera and Dotilla in the family Dotillidae. They are small crabs that live on sandy beaches in the tropical Indo-Pacific. They feed by filtering sand through their mouthparts, leaving behind balls of sand that are disintegrated by the incoming high tide.

Haven’t learnt much about these curious critters yet but here’s what I know - the sand bubbler crab is an Indopacific species of sand crab that lives very close to the sea, burrowing into the sand during high tide and venturing out into the land in search of food at low tide . As it scrummages for food it rolls the examined sand into balls around the mouth of its burrow and along the path it takes. The sand bubbler crab may not know this - but it leaves behind beautiful patterns on the sea shore, which in a beach like Radhanagar ( where this pic was taken ) is often squashed under the careless heels of tourists.

this well camoflaged crab was tiny and responsible for creating all those little sand balls.
