Give FeedbackGreen Crab (Carcinides marnas)
The green crab is one of the most common crabs found on the North Atlantic coast. Its shell is greenish in color with yellow spots and is about 1 to 2 inches long. It makes its home under stones and large shells, in wet sand and mud, and in rocky tidal pools. They even hide in crevices and holes along the shore. These little creatures are very active and energetic and can move very rapidly when disturbed.
