Zosimus aeneus, also known as the devil crab, toxic reef crab, and devil reef crab is a species of crab that lives on coral reefs in the Indo-Pacific from East Africa to Hawaii. It grows to a size of 60 mm × 90 mm (2.4 in × 3.5 in) and has distinctive patterns of brownish blotches on a paler background.
The crabs prefer a humid environment with elements from both terrestrial and freshwater aquatic habitats. They steer clear of drier land and although the younger crabs tend to live in closer proximity to the water, they are not aquatic crabs. Young Red Devil crabs spend most of their time in the water as a way to avoid predators.
