Do crabs have ear to hear sound?
Crabs do not have ears to hear sound. Instead, they use mechanoreceptors to detect acoustic signals Aquatic vertebrates have ear holes containing mechanoreceptors, while aquatic invertebrates such as lobster, crabs, and shrimps have external sensory hairs and internal statocysts Fiddler crabs, which are found along sea beaches and brackish intertidal mud flats, have been shown to exhibit a constant circadian rhythm that mimics the ebb and flow of the tides, turning dark during the day and light at night Golden ghost crabs and Ocypode ghost crabs are predominantly nocturnal and are generalist scavengers and predators of small animals Shore crabs are also nocturnal predators.
