This crab commonly lives subtidally along sheltered shorelines and displayed an escape response oriented in the offshore direction at the home beach. Crabs moved downslope at angles ≥7°. In a wave tank, they moved into approaching waves. Crabs tested under clear skies in both the morning and afternoon displayed directional distributions significantly oriented in the same direction as crabs on the home beach. Crabs displayed random movements under cloudy skies. -from Authors
