Overview: about crucifix crab
Crucifix crabs are notorious bait thieves in tropical estuaries and coastal areas, particularly in WA and NT. They're often caught incidentally on small hooks and light lines using squid, fish guts or chicken in 1-10m. Be prepared for a tangled mess when hauling them in.
