Marine crabs are vital to the health and balance of marine ecosystems for a wide variety reasons and ecological niches. Marine crabs are most often scavengers, helping clean the ocean floor by feeding on decaying plants, animals, and overabundances of organic matter. This natural cleanup process helps recycle important nutrients back into the marine ecosystem, which supports the growth of many other marine life from macro and micro algaes to filter feeders to larger benthic and pelagic species.
