[1] or pink-clawed fiddler crab [2] is a species of fiddler crab that is found in the northern part of Australia including the Torres Strait Islands[3] Tubuca polita was formerly a member of the genus Uca, but in 2016 it was placed in the genus Tubuca, a former subgenus of Uca.

[4] The name polita comes from the unusually smooth ("polished") surface of the "manus" (the lower claw and wrist).

It has a brown and blue-black carapace with cream or grey green marbling,[6] or in some areas yellow or occasionally orange or pink.

[7] The male claw has a rose pink hand with white fingers.

Unlike some other fiddler crabs, females also wave their claws in addition to males.
