Info

Coenobita rugosus H. Milne Edwards, 1837

When threatened C. rugosus is able to make a 'chirping' sound by rubbing its large pincer against its shell as a stridulatory apparatus.

As with other species of land hermit crabs C. rugosus are scavengers and will consume plants, dead fish, fruit and other detritus.
