Those are soldier crabs, commonly found along intertidal regions. If I'm not wrong they are more efficient extracting oxygen from air. During high tide their burrows actually trap an air pocket that provides them with enough oxygen till the next low tide. So I think they actually drowned. :nc: The same goes with land hermits that are kept submerged for long periods of time. It's sad to see such animals in retail shops fully submerged in water. If they are not bought they will most certainly die within a couple of hours.

Always something more important than fish.
