How to catch Moon Crab
Use the Shellfish Tongs. The exact approach depends on the creature’s category and, for shore-dwellers, its species type.
- Equip the Shellfish Tongs and search the intertidal zone along the beach.
- Approach crabs slowly. They scuttle away if you rush, and some hide under broken seashells or coral branches.
First catch: the creature is added to the Omnidex. Offer it to Mors at the Omni-Gallery to put it on display and unlock its Omnipedia entry.
Where and when to find it
Habitat: Intertidal Zone. Distribution: All Regions.
Season: Year-Round. Time: All Day. Weather: Any Weather. If two of those tags are restrictive, check the creature tracker before you set out.

Intertidal Zone · Matuta victor
The moon crab is an expert at sand diving with specialized legs that double as paddles for swift swimming.
Despite all that, it often ends up ashore in fishing nets. Because of its mediocre taste, it's usually sold in seafood markets in the same tank as other miscellaneous crabs.
