Soldier crab Dotilla myctiroides is a known
burrower and form dense aggregations called droves
around tropical muddy or sandy beaches including
mangrove swamps. Due to their burrowing and
feeding activities, one can see deposition of
pseudofaecal and excavated pellets of moist sand
around their burrows. Hence they are also known
as sand bubbler crab. During the low tide they
remain buried inside the burrows.
