[1] Selatium morphology also consists of chelipeds, or the front pair of extremities that attach to large claws or fingers.

[1] This species does not exhibit sexual size dimorphism, however, on the dorsal side of their claw, males have a row of small, narrow teeth, while females have tubercles.

[1] Mangrove crabs are most commonly found in the Indo-Pacific ranging from northern Australia to India and the eastern coast of Africa.

[3] Selatium will occasionally hunt prey with higher protein contents to obtain missing nutrients such as nitrogen.

[3] When feeding, mangrove crabs will use their chelipeds to slice food into smaller fragments which they then grind down by the mandibles and gastric mill in their abdomen.

[1] Mangrove crabs often partake in intraspecific competition for limited resources such as food, habitat space, and mates.

[7]  Crabs in the megalopa stage also live in brackish waters, but here they have a segmented abdomen, meaning their legs will no longer stem from the abdominal area.
