In the wild, sand crabs burrow into the sand where the water meets the shore. Larger sand crabs feed on baby turtles and seagull carcasses; smaller crabs root for mollusks, worms, plankton, and algae. Sand crabs are saltwater creatures that need high temperatures to survive. Thus, they are very difficult to keep in aquariums. If you must keep a sand crab in an aquarium, your best bet may be to frequently replenish its tank with fresh, plankton-rich beach sand. | In the wild, sand crabs burrow into the sand where the water meets the shore.
