Description The red frog crab otherwise called spanner crab
is a coastal water species and single representative
of genus Ranina under family Raninidea. They prefer
to inhabit in bare sandy areas of intertidal and
coastal waters of more than 100m depth. Distribution
of this crab is confined to tropical and sub topical
coastal waters of Indian and Pacific oceans, from
the coast of South Africa to Hawaii and the Great
Barrier Reef. Occurrence of this species is very sparse
in Indian waters and has been recorded once in Gulf
of Mannar (Kasinathan et al., 2007).
