Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: The species seems to have semi-terrestrial tendencies and seems to prefer burrows under shaded rocks in the moist area adjacent to fast flowing streams, the substrate being mud and soil. The animals dig relatively deep but gently sloping burrows at least 20 cm in length. These crabs are not very aggressive and stay for long periods out of water, however, they appear to be extremely susceptible to high temperature (Ng 1988).
Systems: Freshwater
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): Water pollution and habitat loss/degradation. Tourism.
