Summary ⁴

Cardisoma carnifex is a species of terrestrial crab found in coastal regions from the east coast of Africa and the Red Sea across the Indo-Pacific to the Line Islands and the Tuamotu Archipelago. The range includes parts of northern Australia and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands.
In the Mlalazi Estuary it is not very abundant, but its burrows can sometimes be found in among the highest of the Neosesarma burrows.
