Mud Crab (Scylla Serrata)
The mud or mangrove crab is found in mangroves and estuaries of Australia, Asia and Africa. Their shell is of green or brown colour and hence the name is given. Its natural region is around the Indo Pacific area. Thus you can find it from South Africa, the Indian Ocean to the Malay Archipelago, and from southern Japan to south-eastern Australia, and as far east as Fiji and Samoa.
Nowadays this species has been introduced in Hawaii and Florida. Since they were imported from American Samoa they are given the name Samoan crab in Hawaii. Their big size and delicious meat makes their demand high and led to over crabbing, To stop the same the government has had to put a ban on the crabbing of species less than 6 inches of size.
The juveniles are residents of Mangroves while sub adults can be found in the high tide region. On the other hand, the adults are seen in the low tide zone. The mud crabs are cannibalistic in nature. When they are moulting they have a tendency to devour other crabs around them. Females of this species give birth to a million offspring and thus their population never goes down.

Green Crab (Portunus Sanguinolentus)
A common littoral crab this one is known by multiple names across the world. In the British Isles, this species goes by the name shore crab or green shore crab. This variety is invasive in nature and has been listed in the top 100 â??world's worst alien invasive species." Though it is a native to the Atlantic Ocean and the Baltic Sea it can also be found inhabiting Australia, South America and South Africa.
At maturity, the carapace is of a 90 mm width and its food is usually a variety of small crustaceans, molluscs and worms. The colour of this species can vary from green, brown, grey and red. It is believed that those who delay their moulting turn into a red colour. These red ones are considered to be much more aggressive as compared to others.
The presence of green crab can be harmful to the ecosystems and hence its growth is restricted externally. Native blue crab of America contributes largely to the restriction in population. It is therefore fished on a very small scale in the northeast Atlantic Ocean and 1200 tonnes are caught annually. In the native range, the green crab can be used as an important part of soups and sauce.
